Ingredients

• 2 pounds Baby potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place baby potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water.

Step 2

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 6

Finely chop fresh dill and stir it into the vinaigrette.

Step 7

Thinly slice the red onion and finely chop parsley, if using.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm potatoes and red onion slices.

Step 9

Pour the lemon dill vinaigrette over the potatoes and gently toss to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 10

Sprinkle parsley over the salad for garnish, if desired. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
