Ingredients
Scale
- 750 grams potatoes (firm, waxy type like Yukon Gold or red)
- ¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- ¼ cup spring onions (green onions, finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon dried mint (or 2 tbsp fresh, finely chopped)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (optional, crushed)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
Instructions
Boil the Potatoes
- Place whole, unpeeled potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water, about 2 inches above the potatoes.
- Bring to a gentle boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer until fork-tender (about 12–15 minutes).
- Drain and let cool slightly before peeling and cutting into bite-sized chunks.
Prepare the Herbs & Dressing
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped parsley, mint, spring onions, and optional garlic.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Salad
- Add the potato chunks to the herb mixture.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until well combined. Be careful not to break the potatoes.
- Adjust salt, pepper, or lemon to taste.
Rest and Serve
- Let the salad sit for 15–30 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld.
- Serve slightly warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
