Ingredients:
1kg potatoes
1 cup finely chopped herbs (mint, chives, parsley)
salt to taste
Dressing 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tsp crushed garlic
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Method:

• Cut the potatoes to the size and shape desired and gently boil in salted water
until just cooked. Do not overcook, as the potatoes will go mushy.
• Drain the potatoes and place in a large bowl.
• Combine the dressing ingredients in a jug.
• Pour half of the dressing over the potatoes, stir gently, and allow the potatoes to
cool while marinating in the dressing.
• Add the herbs and the remaining dressing to the potatoes, and stir gently.
• Serve at room temperature or chill until ready to serve.

My daughter moved to Worrigee , south Nowra and I'm going down for the weekend for a big family BBQ and I'm making this potato salad to take down . Everyone loves it . My son inlaw requested my pasta salad, my son asked for my pavlova . So I'm guessing I will be busy on Friday cooking for Saturday 🙂

Our "old family recipe" for potato salad is very similar, but without the mustard and substituting a good white wine vinegar for the lemon juice.
