Giovanni Siracusa: Sicilian Potato Salad — Insalata pantesca

Apr 11, 2026 | As the weather starts to warm up, this is the one healthy potato recipe you need in your rotation. The first time I ever had a potato salad with mayonnaise was at a friend's house, and his whole family was laughing at me because this is the potato salad I was used to.

Whether you eat it warm, cold, or the next day, it always tastes great. It’s a perfect Mediterranean diet dish on its own, but it’s also incredible with some tuna on top for a high-protein lunch, or served as a side to grilled meat, chicken, or fish.

I like to make this potato salad and keep it in the refrigerator to pick at for a few days.

My grandmother made this all the time and she sometimes added green beans or any fresh vegetables from the garden. So if you’re tired of the normal potato salad with mayo and want an easy summer salad that actually tastes fresh, this Sicilian classic is for you.
