Ingredients

• 2 lb Yukon gold potatoes
• 2 tsp Salt
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Fresh dill (chopped)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tbsp Fresh chives (chopped)
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrients if desired.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water to season the potatoes as they cook.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly in the colander for 5-10 minutes.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and black pepper until emulsified.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the warm potatoes with the lemon dressing to ensure the flavors absorb into the potatoes.

Step 7

Add the chopped dill, parsley, and chives to the potatoes. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the herbs are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve the potato salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
