Steps

1. 1

   Begin by cooking the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until they are tender, which should take around 30 minutes. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool until they are just warm, which typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Peel the potatoes and then halve each one before slicing them into pieces that are approximately 1/3-inch thick.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, add warm potatoes. Combine red wine vinegar and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves, then pour over the potatoes. Gently mix to ensure the potatoes are coated with the dressing. Add onion slices to the bowl and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Allow the mixture to cool down to room temperature before serving.

3. 3

   Combine the potatoes with olive oil and parsley, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Allow the mixture to rest for a minimum of 20 minutes and a maximum of 2 hours at room temperature to infuse the flavors.
