Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Potatoes

Directions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Bring the pot to a boil, reduce the heat, and let the potatoes cook for approximately 25-30 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the parsley, mint, and green onions. Thinly slice the red onion, and cut the cherry tomatoes into halves.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. Peel the skin off the potatoes (optional) and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes, chopped parsley, mint, green onions, red onion slices, and cherry tomato halves.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss everything together until well-coated.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Serve the salad slightly warm or at room temperature as a side dish or a light meal.
