- 3 pounds red potatoes
- 1 Tablespoon table salt or sea salt (for boiling the potatoes)
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar (up to ½ cup)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup chopped fresh dill or 1 Tablespoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt or more, as needed
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried oregano or 1 ½ Tablespoons fresh oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, minced
Add potatoes to a large pot of cold water along with 1 Tablespoon of table salt or sea salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork tender.
Remove potatoes from the heat and drain well. Let the potatoes cool enough that they can be easily handled, then cut them in quarters or halves depending on how large they are. You want decent sized chunks so you don't end up with mashed potatoes.
Transfer the potato chunks to a large bowl and drizzle with vinegar. Add mayonnaise, green onions, parsley, dill, salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Toss well to combine until the potatoes are evenly coated, then taste and adjust salt as needed.
- Optional: If you want a no-mayo potato salad, simply omit the mayo altogether and dress with ½ cup olive oil.
- Substitution: Replace green onions with thinly sliced red onion for more kick to the potato salad.
