HERB POTATO SALAD
Steps:
- Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot off the heat and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Leave the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but firm.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Set aside.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and pour enough dressing over them to moisten. (As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing.) Add the onion, tarragon and parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Steps:
- For the potato salad: Place the potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large pot and cover by 2 inches with cold water. Season the water liberally with salt. Bring the potatoes to a simmer over medium heat and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander. Transfer to a sheet tray or cutting board. Gently press each potato and garlic clove to smash them and set them aside in a bowl, covering the bowl with aluminum foil to keep the potatoes warm.
- For the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the shallots, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey, salt and a generous grinding of pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to emulsify the vinaigrette.
- Add the warm potatoes to the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Add the parsley, dill and tarragon to the potatoes. Toss to coat, seasoning with additional lemon juice and salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the Fresno chile and chives. Serve at room temperature or keep covered in the refrigerator overnight, tossing again before serving.

Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice for potato salad because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
- Cool the potatoes completely before adding the dressing: This will help to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
- Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want the salad to be too heavy or greasy.
- Add some fresh herbs to the salad: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill, will add a pop of flavor and color to the salad.
- Serve the salad chilled: Potato salad is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Creamy Herbed Potato Salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and refreshing potato salad that everyone will love.
