GARLIC HERB POTATO SALAD

Garlic Herb Potato Salad

INGREDIENTS

• 3 lbs small red potatoes, scrubbed and rinsed and diced into small even size chunks (about 1-inch)
• Salt
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (1 Tbsp)
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (from about 1/2 cup cup packed leaves with some stem)
• 2 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh green onion
• 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme

1. Place potatoes in a large pot  and cover with water by an inch or two. Season water with salt (about  1 Tbsp).

2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until potatoes are just tender all the way through, about 10 - 15 minutes (they should pierce easily with a knife, but you also don't want them really tender/mushy). 

3. Drain potatoes and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

4. While potatoes are cooking prepare the dressing - in a mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, pepper, parsley, chives and thyme. Season with salt to taste (about 1 1/2 tsp).

5. Let mixture rest while potatoes continue to cook and cool slightly, then once potatoes are ready, pour drained potatoes into a large mixing bowl. 
6. Pour dressing over top and gently toss just a few times to coat. Serve warm or chilled.
