2.25 pounds small, red-skinned new potatoes
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
0.5 cup water

directions
Pre-cook Potatoes
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Scrub the potatoes, cut them in half or in quarters depending on their size (they should be one-bite size) and place in a clay or metal baking dish. (Do not crowd the pan or they will take much longer to cook. The potatoes should be in a crowded single layer at most.) Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Add 1/2 cup of water by pouring into the corner of the baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake until tender, 30 minutes. (A knife inserted into the potato should encounter no resistance.) Cool slightly.
Grill Potatoes
Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill until hot. Brush the grill with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill, turning occasionally, until they have grill marks, 5-7 minutes. Remove from the grill and place in a large serving bowl.
Assemble Salad
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the grilled potatoes, plus the lemon zest, parsley, mint, oregano and olives. Mix well. Add the crumbled feta. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss gently and serve warm or at room temperature.
