A fresh and easy spring potato salad featuring tender baby Yukon gold potatoes, crisp radishes, and a bright herb dressing. Perfect for potlucks, picnics, or light dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby Yukon gold or new potatoes, scrubbed and halved
  • 1 cup crisp red radishes, thinly sliced (about 6–8 radishes)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the halved baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-18 minutes until tender but still firm when pierced with a fork. Drain well and let cool slightly.
  2. While potatoes are cooking, thinly slice the radishes and finely dice the red onion. Soak the onion in ice water for 10 minutes if you prefer a milder bite, then drain.
  3. Roughly chop the parsley, chives, and dill.
  4. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), salt, and pepper until emulsified and smooth.
  5. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the warm potatoes, sliced radishes, onions, and chopped herbs. Pour the dressing over and gently toss to coat everything evenly. If the potatoes have cooled too much, warm them slightly before tossing.
  6. Fold in chopped hard-boiled eggs for extra creaminess and texture, if using.
  7. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed. Let the salad rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to marry the flavors.

Notes

Do not overcook potatoes to avoid mushy texture. Toss salad while potatoes are warm to absorb dressing better. Soak onions in cold water to mellow sharpness. Fresh herbs are essential for best flavor. Add radishes fresh before serving if storing leftovers to maintain crunch.
