As the weather turns colder I find that I don’t want to eat as many leafy green salads as I do other times of the year. I like heartier salads with a little texture. That’s when warm potato salad comes to the rescue.
This potato salad makes for a perfect winter side with just about everything and is very satisfying. It is incredibly simple and easy to make, doesn’t require any peeling or slicing. You boil baby potatoes until fork tender. After boiling, the unpeeled potatoes are coated in a tempering of mustard seeds and garlic before being tossed with creamy grainy mustard, honey and herbs. I’m typically a fan of salads with a bit of tang so I also added apple cider vinegar. The flavors and textures are spot on.
It’s good to serve this potato salad as soon it is made but you can serve it cold if you like. If you must make it in advance and refrigerate it, reheat it in the microwave or instant pot before serving.
I hope you give this easy potato salad recipe a try!

What a great combination: mustard, honey, garlic, and lemon juice. I would definitely lean toward rosemary.
