French Potato Salad Ingredients:

To make this French potato salad recipe, you will need:
  • Potatoes: I used red potatoes for this recipe, but just about any kinds of potatoes would do.

  • Oil: Extra-virgin olive oil will be the base of our dressing.

  • Lemon juice: Freshly-squeezed! Or, you’re welcome to sub in red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar in place of lemon juice.

  • Garlic: Either pressed or minced.

  • Mustard: Even if you don’t love mustard, don’t skip this one! The creamy Dijon adds an essential subtle kick to this dressing.

  • Salt and pepper: To season the dressing.

  • Shallot: Or you can sub in a finely-diced red onion or chopped green onions.

  • Fresh herbs: The stars of this salad! I like to use a good handful of finely-chopped fresh parsley as a base. But then I also highly recommend adding in a few tablespoons of any fresh French herbs (rosemary, chives, tarragon, thyme, dill, or a combo of these) that you might have on hand. The more herbs, the merrier with this French potato salad recipe. ♡

How To Make French Potato Salad:


This one is super-easy to make! Simply…
  1. Cook the potatoes: Dice your potatoes into large chunks. Then add them to a large stockpot and cover with generously-salted cold water, and cook until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

  2. Prep the dressing: Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper in a bowl (or shake together in a mason jar) until evenly combined.

  3. Toss everything together: Once the potatoes are ready to go, combine the potatoes, dressing, shallot and fresh herbs together in a large serving bowl. Toss gently until evenly combined.

  4. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

  5. Chill: Cover, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to chill. Serve chilled.
