Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds small potatoes Look for baby red or Yukon gold for a buttery flavor.
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Consider yogurt or sour cream as a lighter alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (like parsley, dill, and chives) Feel free to use your favorite herbs or what you have on hand.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by placing the small potatoes in a large pot covered with salted water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and let the potatoes cook until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool.
  3. While the potatoes are cooling, in a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth.
  4. Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, cut them into halves or quarters and add them to the bowl with the dressing.
  5. Gently toss the potatoes in the dressing until evenly coated, ensuring not to mash them.
  6. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs until well-distributed throughout the salad.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

The best herb potato salad is delicious when served chilled. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, and consider topping with sliced radishes or a sprinkle of paprika before serving. This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, BBQ chicken, or as part of a picnic spread. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
