Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
While potatoes are still warm, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Add the warm potatoes, red onion, celery, parsley, and dill to the bowl.
Gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
For a sharper flavor, you can add a teaspoon of capers to the dressing.
If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add a teaspoon of honey or sugar.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or hard-boiled eggs.
