Ingredients

  • 2 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes (6 to 8 potatoes)
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 cup good mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons tarragon or white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chopped scallions, white and green parts
  • 3 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon leaves
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill

Directions

Place the potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover them. Add 1 tablespoon of salt, bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, just until tender when pierced with a small knife or skewer. Drain in a colander. Put a kitchen towel over the colander and allow the potatoes to steam for 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and slice 1/2 inch thick. Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl.

Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. While the potatoes are still warm, pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss well. Add the scallions, red onion, tarragon, and dill and toss gently. Allow the salad to

sit for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to develop. Sprinkle with salt and serve at room temperature.

    I made this for a BBQ and it was very good. I used the amounts of herbs and ingredients for the dressing that were called for in the recipe, but I used 3 lbs of potatoes, and I still did not use all of the dressing. I will definitely make this again but next time I will try it with a little less vinegar and lemon juice. It packed quite a "zing" that everybody may not have loved. I also used less salt than was called for. I love Ina recipes but I often find they are a bit too salty for my taste.
