Place potatoes into a large pot.

Cover with an ample amount of cold water.


Place potatoes on stove over high heat.

Bring water to a boil.

Boil potatoes for about 28 minutes.

Water should be at a medium boil as opposed to a rolling boil.
 
Cooking at a full boil will break up the potatoes.

Potatoes are ready when they just start to split open.

Test for doneness by inserting a small knife into the potato.

They should be just cooked, not overcooked.

Remove potatoes from the water.

Let cool for 1 or 2 hours on the counter.



Gather and prep the Finely Chopped Vegetables.

Place them onto a large platter.



Peel the skin from the potatoes.

Cut the potatoes into medium size pieces.




Place potatoes into a large bowl.



Add the finely chopped vegetables to the bowl.


Open both cans of sardines.

Remove the sardines and place onto a large plate.

Reserve 2 tablespoons of the sardine oil.



Chop the sardines into medium size pieces.

Note:
Some sardines come skinless.



Add chopped sardines to the bowl.

Add olive oil, sardine oil, vinegar & lime juice.

Sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper.



Use a spatula or heavy spoon to chop and mix all of the ingredients together.

To Serve:

Place a scoop of the sardine salad onto a plate and garnish with raw vegetables such as avocado, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, carrots and so on.
