Instructions
1-Getting ready to make this red potato salad is simple and straightforward. Start by washing and scrubbing the 2 pounds of red potatoes to remove any dirt. This step helps keep things clean and tasty from the beginning.
2-Cut the potatoes into 1.5-inch chunks for even cooking. Then, place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt to boost the flavor. Bring the water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, which takes about 10-15 minutes.
3-Once done, drain and let them cool a bit. This way, they wonβt make the dressing watery. Now, mix your dressing in a bowl: combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 3 grated garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
4-Combine the cooled potatoes with the dressing in a large bowl.
5-Add in 4 chopped celery stalks, 3 chopped scallions, 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill for extra flavor and texture.
6-Gently mix everything together to coat the potatoes evenly.
7-Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour so the flavors blend nicely.
8-Before serving, garnish with more chives and enjoy this refreshing red potato salad.
