Ingredients

• 2 pounds Baby yellow potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced thinly
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Optional: capers, drained

Directions

Step 1

Scrub the potatoes clean and remove any blemishes. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skins on for texture and flavor.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and carefully place the potatoes in the pot.

Step 3

Boil the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them; they should hold their shape when pierced.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until emulsified.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet or large platter to cool slightly. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes to prevent the salad from becoming too warm.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are warm but not hot, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped dill, green onions, and optional capers to the bowl.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to combine. Be careful not to mash the potatoes as you stir.

Step 8

Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.

Step 9

Chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold or at room temperature.
