DALMATIAN BOILED POTATO

Steps:

• If you use baby potato just "shave" the skin, otherwise, peal potato and cut into 5 cm large pieces.
• Cook in salted water until soft.
• Put olive oil, finely minced garlic and parsley in pot, add well strained potato and stir. Leave it on fire not more than one minute stirring all the time to cover potato with garlic and parsley. Serve hot with fish.

BLITVA (CROATIAN SWISS CHARD DISH)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add peeled and cubed (1/2-1 in cubes) potatoes.
• Rinse the Swiss chard, remove tough stems, and cut into 1/2 in strips (or just tear into large pieces).
• When potatoes are almost done, add the Swiss chard, and cook all together for an additional 10 minutes (15 minutes if the chard is older).
• Sauté garlic on olive oil, and add the cooked drained chard and potatoes to it (you may keep some water so that it looks like a thick soup).
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Stir and cook for 1 more minute in order to bring all flavors together.

CROATIAN DALMATIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook potato with skin and when cooked, peel it.
• Cut peeled potato into slices (across). Put potato into a salad bowl, pour over olive oil and vinegar dissolved with half glass water (1 dcl). (It is much better if you season warm potato because it will soak oil, vinegar and seasoning much better.)
• Cut onion into thin rounds and add to potato. Add salt and pepper. At the end add hand cut basil leaves. Do not put too much basil - it must be surprise for consumer.
• Mix well. Wait until cools and serve.
