Ingredients

• 2 pounds Baby potatoes
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 unit Garlic clove (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half if they are large; otherwise, you can leave them whole.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water, then bring it to a boil.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them; they should hold their shape.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the vegetables and the dressing. Halve the cherry tomatoes, finely slice the red onion, and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, dried oregano, and black pepper to create the Italian dressing.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and transfer them to a large mixing bowl while still warm.

Step 7

Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the potatoes.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and vegetables, tossing gently to ensure everything is coated evenly.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.

Step 10

Serve the potato salad warm as a side dish or light meal. Enjoy!
