Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Wash and scrub the red potatoes well. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for texture and flavor.
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.
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.
Chop the fresh parsley, dill, and green onions. Set aside.
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.
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.
Add the chopped parsley, dill, green onions, and lemon zest to the bowl. Toss again to combine evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the potato salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
