Ingredients
For the Potato Salad
-
- 1kg baby potatoes or waxy potatoes
-
- 200g mayonnaise
-
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
-
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
-
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes

Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large saucepan. Cover with cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Cut larger potatoes into bite-sized pieces while leaving smaller ones whole.
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Stir the spring onions, chives, and parsley into the dressing until evenly combined.
Add the warm potatoes to the dressing and gently toss until every piece is coated without breaking the potatoes.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Top with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of paprika, or sliced spring onions before serving.
