Ingredients
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar (substitute for white wine vinegar)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or dill
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and simmer 12–15 minutes until just tender but still firm. Drain and let cool.
In a mixing bowl, whisk olive oil, shallot, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Add cooled potatoes and herbs to the dressing. Gently toss to coat evenly.
Transfer to a serving dish. Chill for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
Use Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes for best texture.
Adjust vinegar/mustard ratio to taste.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Add chopped boiled eggs (not specified in article) for a protein boost if desired.
