Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, for uniform cooking.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, dice the red onion finely and chop the fresh parsley. Set these aside.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes.
Step 7
Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 8
Fold in the diced red onion and chopped parsley, ensuring everything is well mixed.
Step 9
Let the potato salad sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together. For even better flavor, refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.
Step 10
Serve the potato salad chilled or at room temperature as a zesty side dish for any meal.
