Ingredients

2 - 2 ½ lbs. Yukon gold or Russet potatoes
3 green onions spring onions, scallions
½ bunch Italian parsley
¼ cup mint leaves
¼ - ½ cup lemon juice
¼ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Wash and scrub potatoes. If using Russet potatoes, peel them as well (Yukon gold or other waxy potatoes do not need to be peeled). Place potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water, and bring them to a boil.* Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 mins, until fork-tender and soft.
2 - 2 ½ lbs. Yukon gold or Russet potatoes
Meanwhile, finely chop parsley, mint leaves, and green onions. Set aside.
½ bunch Italian parsley, ¼ cup mint leaves, 3 green onions
Combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Taste to see if you would like more lemon juice or salt, and adjust as needed.
¼ - ½ cup lemon juice, ¼ cup olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Dice cooked potatoes into bite-sized pieces, and then toss in a large bowl or serving dish with herbs and dressing.
Refrigerate for at least 15 mins before serving, to let the flavors marinate and infuse. Once ready, serve and enjoy!

Notes

*I salt the water with about 1-2 teaspoons of salt.

To make it ahead: Combine the potatoes, herbs, and dressing no more than a day in advance so the herbs stay fresh. Or, store each component separately and mix at least 15 minutes before serving.
