Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds baby red or Yukon gold potatoes, washed and quartered
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender but firm, about 10–12 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the warm potatoes with the dressing, gently tossing to coat evenly.
  4. Add parsley, dill, chives, and sliced red onion (if using). Toss gently until everything is evenly distributed.
  5. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
  6. Allow to sit for at least 20 minutes before serving to enhance flavors. Can be served warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
  • Add extra vegetables like cucumber or celery for extra crunch.
  • To make it vegan, ensure the Dijon mustard is vegan-friendly.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Great served alongside grilled meats or fish.
