A light and flavorful warm potato salad with fresh herbs and a tangy vinaigrette, perfect for summer gatherings and quick meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby new potatoes or Yukon gold, halved or quartered
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup finely diced red onion or shallot
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon capers

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 pounds of baby new potatoes under cold water. Halve or quarter them for even cooking.
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water (about 1 tablespoon salt). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-18 minutes. Avoid overcooking.
  3. Drain the potatoes well in a colander. While still warm, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and toss gently but thoroughly to coat every piece.
  6. Fold in 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons chives, and 2 tablespoons dill. Add optional red onion or capers if using. Toss lightly to mix.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature. Can also be enjoyed chilled.

Notes

Do not overcook the potatoes to avoid mushiness. Dress potatoes while still warm to absorb flavors better. Chop herbs finely for best fragrance. Season generously with salt and acid for balanced flavor. Optional additions include Greek yogurt for creaminess or swapping herbs seasonally.
