Steps:
- In a large pot, cover potatoes with 2 inches water and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and continue boiling until potatoes are fork-tender, about 9 minutes. Drain, transfer to a bowl, and lightly smash. Toss with vinegar, lemon juice and zest, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Stir in onion, parsley, celery leaves, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 day (bring to room temperature before serving, about 30 minutes).
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but the flavor will not be as bright and tangy.
- To make the vinaigrette ahead of time, whisk all of the ingredients together and store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
- If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of dried dill weed.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked red potatoes.
- If you don't have a steamer basket, you can boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
- You can add other vegetables to this salad, such as chopped celery, carrots, or radishes.
- This salad is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
