Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for added texture.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Finely chop the fresh parsley, red onion, and chives. Reserve them for later use.
Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool for 5-10 minutes so they are warm but not hot.
Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl. While still warm, drizzle the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to coat.
Add the chopped parsley, red onion, chives, and capers to the bowl. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the herbs and vegetables are evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the potato salad slightly warm or at room temperature. It can also be chilled in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving.
