Ingredients

– 2 pounds red potatoes (approximately 900 grams) cut into 1.5-inch chunks

– 1/3 cup olive oil for the dressing

– 2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard for the dressing

– 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (plus more to taste) for the dressing

– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice for the dressing

– 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar for the dressing

– 3 grated garlic cloves for the dressing

– 1 teaspoon salt (plus additional for cooking the potatoes)

– Freshly ground black pepper to taste for the dressing

– 4 chopped celery stalks to add crunch

– 3 chopped scallions for a mild onion flavor

– 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (plus more for garnish)

– 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill for extra freshness

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 won’t 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.
