This recipe is adapted from the Barefoot Contessa cookbook. It is WONDERFUL! The fresh herbs are essential--don't even try to make it with dried. It is also important to use a good flavored olive oil. Whenever we make this, it gets rave reviews. My husband could eat it daily for a week. Easy to double or triple for a crowd! Something different from your typical mayo based potato salad!

Very good. I also saw Ina Garten making it on TV. I substituted balsamic vinegar with the juice of 1 lemon and I also used dijon mustard seeds instead of ready to eat mustard. Came out delicious,wedid not have leftovers . The only downside is that it doesn't look very appealing to the guests,since potatoes don't hold their shape when mixing. I will still be making it for our summertime famly meals. Thank you.

    Sorry folks, I know everyone else seemed to love this recipe... I did not. I made it exactly as written and everyone agreed that it just seemed to be missing something. I'll try another recipe. Thanks.

    This was a nice change. A guest called it "refreshing" due to the fresh herbs. After reading the reviews, I decided to make it with half red creamer potatoes and half baby purple potatoes. Good call. I think it might have been even better looking if I had used white balsamic, but I used brown. Great for the hot day we had since I didn't have to worry about mayo sitting out. Thanks!

    This is an excellent potato salad that I make all the time. The fresh herbs really make the difference. I use Italian Flat parsley, and throw in some steamed green beans and black olives. Add some hard boiled egg, tuna and chopped tomato and you have a potato nicoise salad!
