Thoroughly wash the baby potatoes and cut them into halves (or quarters if they are larger).
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. Zest and juice the lemon into a small bowl.
Add olive oil, finely minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the lemon juice and zest. Whisk until well combined.
Chop the fresh parsley, fresh dill, and green onions. Set aside.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked potatoes with the lemon dressing. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Add the chopped parsley, dill, and green onions to the bowl. Gently mix everything together.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the potato salad slightly warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
