Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Wash and halve the baby potatoes (leave the skin on for texture).
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Spread the potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and soft when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are roasting, dice the red bell pepper and thinly slice the red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, finely minced garlic, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Finely chop the parsley and chives, and set them aside.
When the potatoes are done roasting, let them cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
In a large serving bowl, combine the roasted potatoes, bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and chives over the salad and give it one final toss.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy your non-traditional potato salad as a colorful and flavorful side dish!
