Ingredients You’ll Need
In this recipe, tender potatoes are tossed with fresh parsley, thyme, chives and simple dressing made with olive oil, garlic, dijon and lemon for a delicious side dish.
Here’s everything you’ll need, including ingredient variations:
- Potatoes: I used red baby potatoes here, but white or gold baby potatoes will work just as well. If baby potatoes are not available, you can just as easily cube small or medium red, white or yellow potatoes into bite size pieces, about 3/4 – 1 inch cubes.
- Fresh Herbs: This is what makes this potato salad so delicious! I’ve used parsley, thyme and chives in this recipe, but you can easily change up the herbs to suit your taste. Other herbs that go well with potatoes are – oregano, rosemary, tarragon, dill. And if you don’t have chives, green onions would be nice. If using tarragon or dill, a little goes a long way so start with a small amount, adding more to taste. Mix and match to your delight!
- Potato Salad Dressing: This light and zesty dressing is super easy to make, and requires NO MAYO. Recipe calls for 1/4 cup of oil, but feel free to cut the oil by half if you like. Just add 1 tablespoon of water to compensate a bit.
How To Make Herb Potato Salad
- Boil Potatoes: First you’ll boil the washed and quartered potatoes in water, until fork tender, about 6 minutes. Drain potatoes and run under cool running water, let cool about 10 minutes.
- Herbs: While the potatoes are boiling, chop the parsley, chives and thyme (or any other herbs you’ll be using).
- Dressing: As the potatoes cool, make the potato salad dressing by whisking together the oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt & pepper in a small bowl.
- Assemble: Add the cooled potatoes to a medium sized bowl, along with the herbs and dressing, mix until well coated. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
And now you are ready to serve!
How To Store Leftovers
- Refrigerator: Potato salad can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for maximum freshness, and will last for up to 5 days.
- Make ahead: You can easily make this potato salad a day in advance and keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Serving Suggestions
This herb filled potato salad is a perfect side for picnics, potlucks, and parties of all types. It’s also great for meal prep. Here are few of my favorite ways to serve this salad:
- Meal Prep: Try this recipe for a meal prep idea! It pairs well with fresh spinach, chickpeas, avocado and fresh tomatoes (as shown in the last photo). I’ll mix a handful of fresh spinach with the potatoes and fill my prep containers. It’s so delicious and makes about 3 lunches.
- Other sides: Serve alongside classic Vegan Coleslaw, Favorite Vegan Macaroni Salad or Lemon Asparagus Pasta Salad.

I know what you mean Marcy, I’m a single person making all these recipes and someone has to eat them – pointing finger at myself. LOL It definitely helps to set aside portions if you can. I try to do that, but usually end up eating it all. I’m so glad the recipes work for you, truly makes day! Cheers :)
