Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 3 green onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the red potatoes well. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for texture and flavor.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Juice the lemon into a small bowl. Add olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Chop the fresh parsley, dill, and green onions. Set aside.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Step 6
Pour the lemon dressing over the potatoes while they are still warm. This helps them absorb the flavors of the dressing. Gently toss to coat.
Step 7
Add the chopped parsley, dill, green onions, and lemon zest to the bowl. Toss again to combine evenly.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Serve the potato salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
