Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing and scrubbing your fresh spring potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Slice them into halves or quarters.
  2. Place the cut potatoes into a large pot and cover them with salted cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until tender.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth.
  4. Once cooled slightly, transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the warm potatoes, adding chopped parsley and sliced green onions. Toss to combine.
  5. Serve immediately or let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to meld flavors. Enjoy!
