It's a harmonious combination of tender potatoes and aromatic herbs, blended with a zesty dressing to create a simple yet flavorful salad.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Add a dash of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, gently smash each potato using the flat side of a knife or the bottom of a glass. Be careful not to completely mash them; they should still hold their shape.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Add the sugar and a dash of salt, and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the dressing is well combined.
- Place the smashed potatoes in a large serving bowl.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the potatoes, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Gently fold in the chopped parsley, dill, and chives with the potatoes.
- Toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated with the dressing and herbs.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, if necessary.
- Serve the smashed potato and herb salad warm or at room temperature. It can also be chilled in the refrigerator for a couple of hours if you prefer a cold salad.
Tips:
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for a firmer texture that holds up well when smashed.
- Smash the potatoes gently to keep some texture and avoid making mashed potatoes.
- Fresh herbs are essential for the best flavor, so use them generously.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add some minced garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
Smashed Potato and Herb Salad is a rejuvenating dish that brings together the simplicity of potatoes and the freshness of herbs in a harmonious way. Serve this salad as a side dish at your next gathering or enjoy it as a light meal on its own. With every bite, you'll savor the perfect blend of flavors and textures.
