This potato salad is so easy to make with simple ingredients and a creamy dressing you’ll lick from the spoon! You can bring this salad to a potluck or spring picnic: keep boiled red potatoes, red onion, chives, and parsley in a large salad bowl, and drizzle the creamy mayo and mustard dressing from an airtight container right before serving. We like red potatoes because they hold firm after cooking, but feel free to use yellow or Yukon gold if you prefer. Enjoy!
