Instructions
- Place potatoes in a saucepan of cold, salted water; bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or until just tender. Drain; cool for 5 minutes, then cut in half lengthwise. Cool completely.
- Meanwhile, combine oil, olives, parsley and garlic in a large bowl and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Preheat a barbecue, chargrill pan, or frying pan to medium-high.
