  1. In a large pot of water cook the unpeeled potatoes until tender, about 25 minutes.
  2. Remove potatoes and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle yet still quite warm.
  3. While the potatoes are still warm, peel, halve, and cut into ¼ inch slices. Place in a large mixing bowl and season with olive oil, salt and pepper. Gently toss.
  4. Carefully fold in the tomatoes and onions; sprinkle with parsley and oregano. Taste for salt and pepper. Gently toss and serve at room temperature.
