Ingredients

• 2 pounds red-skinned potatoes
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Scrub the red-skinned potatoes thoroughly and leave the skin on. Cut them into bite-sized chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt to the water. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to cool slightly while you prepare the dressing.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add the drained, slightly warm potatoes to the bowl. Gently toss them in the dressing, ensuring that all pieces are coated evenly.

Step 7

Fold in the fresh parsley, dill, and green onions. Sprinkle the paprika and black pepper on top, and toss lightly to distribute the seasoning.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. For an extra zesty kick, add a bit more lemon juice or Dijon mustard to the dressing.

Step 9

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with extra fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
