Spanish Potato Salad

Description
This tasty potato salad makes a nice change from the regular,and is very attractive as well ! I do recommend using the purple onions when possible, as the color is nice and they are sweeter.

Ingredients

 * 1½ lbs potatoes (not baking potatoes)
 * ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
 * 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
 * 1 teaspoon salt
 * 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
 * 7 ounces cherry tomatoes, cut in halves
 * ½ cup purple onion, chopped or other sweet onion
 * ½ cup green olives, pitted

Directions

 * 1) Scrub potatoes, and in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook potatoes 20 to 25 minutes until just tender.
 * 2) If your potatoes vary in size, remove them individually as they reach this stage and allow the larger ones to continue cooking until they also are tender.
 * 3) Drain potatoes and set aside until cool enough to handle.
 * 4) In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, salt and pepper until well combined.
 * 5) Add to this the tomatoes, onion, and and mix well.
 * 6) Remove skin from potatoes, and cut into ½ inch pieces.
 * 7) Add potatoes to the bowl of other ingredients, and mix well.
