Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes (yellow or red)
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, gently toss them in a large mixing bowl with the dressing, making sure they are well coated.
Step 6
Add the parsley and chives to the bowl and give the potato salad another gentle toss.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a touch more salt, black pepper, or lemon juice, depending on your preference.
Step 8
Serve the potato salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled. It pairs well with grilled meats, seafood, or enjoyed on its own.
