How to Make Baby Red Potato Salad With Lemon And Herbs

  1. Wash and scrub 1 pound of baby red potatoes.
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-17 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly.
  5. While potatoes cool, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into 3/4-inch pieces.
  7. In a large bowl, gently toss the potatoes with the lemon-herb dressing.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or herbs to your liking.
  9. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra fresh herbs before serving (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
