Ingredients

• 2 lbs baby potatoes
• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and halve any larger potatoes for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are warm but not hot, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add the scallions, chopped parsley, and dill to the potatoes.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve cold or at room temperature, garnished with a sprinkle of additional parsley or dill if desired.
