Steps:
- Steam potatoes, covered, in a metal steamer basket set in a large pot over boiling water until tender, 20-30 minutes, depending on size. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
- Meanwhile, cook eggs in a large saucepan of boiling water until whites are set and yolks are still slightly soft, 7 minutes. Drain; transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill until cold. Drain and peel; set eggs aside.
- Toast mustard seeds in a dry small skillet over medium-low heat, tossing constantly, until seeds start to pop, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl (be ready with bowl; once seeds get going, it's chaos).
- Whisk vinegar, mustard, and honey in a large bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually add oil; whisk until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Set 3 tablespoons vinaigrette aside for drizzling.
- Halve potatoes and add to bowl with vinaigrette. Add parsley and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter. Halve reserved eggs and tuck in between potatoes. Drizzle with reserved vinaigrette. Top with pickles, chives, and toasted mustard seeds.
- Do Ahead
- Eggs can be boiled 1 day ahead; drain, cover, and chill. Peel just before using. Vinaigrette can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill.

Steps:
- Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 2 inches in a 5- to 6-quart pot and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool slightly.
- While potatoes are simmering, whisk together sugar and 3 tablespoons vinegar in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved.
- When potatoes are just cool enough to handle, peel and cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices, adding to vinegar mixture as sliced and tossing gently to combine.
- Whisk together shallot, mustard, and remaining tablespoon vinegar in a small bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Add dressing to potatoes, then season with salt and pepper and stir gently with a rubber spatula.
Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best flavor and texture. These varieties hold their shape well when cooked and have a creamy, tender texture.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Cool the potatoes completely before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
- Use a good quality mustard for the vinaigrette. A grainy mustard will add a nice depth of flavor.
- Add the eggs and vegetables to the potato salad just before serving. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Season the potato salad to taste. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or mustard, depending on your preference.
Conclusion:
This potato salad with 7-minute eggs and mustard vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy potatoes, tangy vinaigrette, and hard-boiled eggs make this a classic potato salad that everyone will love. Whether you are serving it at a picnic, potluck, or family gathering, this potato salad is sure to be a hit.
