If you are like me and love fresh herbs, you may even grow some at home, this is a wonderful recipe for you. It is filled with fresh dill, chives and parsley. Yum! I really enjoy growing my own herbs at home. My kids have so much fun helping me take care of them. There is something satisfying about using ingredients that you grow. ***Did you know you can freeze fresh herbs? Chop the herbs and then place 1-2 tablespoons of the herbs into an ice cube tray compartment. Add 1 tablespoon of water or olive oil on top of the cut herbs in each ice cube compartment and freeze. Take the frozen herb cubes and place them in a freezer safe bag until ready to use.
Back to the potato salad. I like to use small red potatoes for this salad but small gold potatoes would be nice too. Cut them into 3/4 inch chunks and place in a pot full of cold water. Boil for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. Be careful not to let them cook too long or they will become mushy in the salad.
Dice some sweet onions and saute in a skillet until tender. They will get mixed into the dressing. For the dressing, stir together vinegar, parsley, chives, dill, mustard and cooked onions. Pour in the cooked potatoes and toss to coat. Serve immediately or cover and chill if you prefer a cold potato salad.
The soft, creamy potatoes, fresh herbs, whole-grain mustard and tangy vinegar makes this one flavorful salad. I hope you love this herb potato salad as much as my family. Enjoy!
