EASY HERB POTATO SALAD
Our mayonnaise free potato salad is packed with flavor thanks to a simple olive oil vinaigrette, lots of fresh herbs, and lemon. We prefer to use small baby potatoes (sometimes labeled New Potatoes), fingerling potatoes, or Red Bliss potatoes for this salad.

Steps:
- Add the potatoes to a large stockpot and cover with water by 2 inches. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water, and then bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain then set aside to cool.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite sized chunks or slice into thin rounds. Add to a large salad bowl.
- Whisk the mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, and olive oil together until creamy and emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour all but 1/4 cup of the dressing over the potatoes and toss. Set the potatoes aside for five minutes to absorb the dressing (it will look like a lot at first, but the potatoes will soak it up).
- Add the scallions and fresh herbs. Toss gently, but thoroughly. If the potato salad seems dry, add a splash of the remaining dressing. Serve warm or cover and refrigerate, and then serve the salad cold.

HERB POTATO SALAD
Steps:
- Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot off the heat and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Leave the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but firm.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Set aside.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and pour enough dressing over them to moisten. (As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing.) Add the onion, tarragon and parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.
POTATO SALAD WITH DIJON VINAIGRETTE
There's nothing complicated about this potato salad - it's really just boiled red potatoes tossed with a simple Dijon mustard vinaigrette and a generous smattering of scallions and fresh herbs - and that's the beauty of it. It's served cold or at room temperature, and its flavor gets better as it sits, making it an ideal dish to bring to a potluck or a picnic.

LEMON VINAIGRETTE POTATO SALAD
I developed this recipe for a friend who needed a potato salad that could withstand Fourth of July weather.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potato types for a more interesting flavor and texture. Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or fingerlings, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when cooked. Russet potatoes are a good choice for a more creamy potato salad.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before adding the dressing. This will help the potatoes to absorb the dressing better.
- Use a light and flavorful dressing. A vinaigrette is a good choice, as it will not overpower the potatoes. You can also use a mayonnaise-based dressing, but be sure to use a light hand so that the dressing does not become too heavy.
- Add your favorite mix-ins. Some popular options include hard-boiled eggs, chopped celery, red onion, or bacon. You can also add herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill.
- Serve the potato salad immediately or chill it for later. Potato salad is a great dish to make ahead of time, as the flavors will meld together over time.
Conclusion:
Potato salad is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With a few simple tips, you can make a potato salad that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a side dish for your next potluck or picnic, give potato salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
