    1 tspΒ salt

    1/2 tspΒ freshly-cracked black pepper

    1Β shallot, peeled and finely chopped

    β…“ cupΒ finely chopped fresh parsley

    ΒΌ cupΒ finely-chopped fresh French herbs (rosemary, chives, tarragon, thyme, dill, or a combo)

    Instructions

    I prefer to steam my potatoes for salads in a double boiler as I feel they hold their shape better. However, you can also cook them in a pot of boiling, salted water until fork tender. Drain and cool.Β Β 

    Meanwhile, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper until combined. Add potatoes, dressing, shallots, and herbs to a large bowl, and toss gently until evenly combined. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.Β Β 

    Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.Β
