Herb and Mustard Potato Salad

This herb and mustard potato salad combines quartered and mashed baby red potatoes tossed in a vinaigrette of whole grain mustard, olive oil, white vinegar, chives, parsley, and seasonings. The mix of textures—biting potato pieces and creamy mashed potatoes—with fresh herbs gives a bright and herby flavor. It can be served cool or at room temperature as a side dish.

Description

The salad starts with 3 pounds of baby red potatoes boiled in salted water until tender, then cooled. Most are quartered with a few peeled and mashed to create a combination of textures in the salad. The dressing contains whole grain mustard, olive oil, white vinegar, fresh chives, parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, which is whisked together and poured over the potatoes.

The mixture is gently tossed to coat evenly, allowing the dressing to infuse the potatoes with bright acidity balanced by the earthy mustard and herbs. Serving chilled or at room temperature enhances the dish's refreshing qualities, making it suitable as a picnic, barbecue, or potluck side.

The use of both mashed and chopped potatoes contributes creaminess without heavy mayonnaise, offering a lighter take on potato salad while still retaining satisfying texture and flavor.
