Method
Preparation
- Begin by washing and scrubbing the potatoes. Peel them if you prefer a smoother texture. Cut them into bite-sized cubes for even cooking.
- Place the potato cubes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until just tender. Ensure they’re firm enough not to fall apart.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them cool for a few minutes. This will prevent them from becoming too mushy.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar (or lemon juice), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cool potato cubes, the dressing, and the chopped fresh herbs. Gently toss until all the potatoes are coated.
- Check for seasoning; add more salt, pepper, or herbs if desired. Serve immediately or chill for a bit to let the flavors meld.
Notes
Tip: For a Halal-friendly alternative, try using different herbs or roasted garlic. Don't overcook the potatoes—aim for tender but firm. Avoid over-salting by adding salt incrementally.
