Ingredients
2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes (no larger than 2 inches in diameter)1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided3 medium scallions1 clove garlic1 large lemon1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1 bunch fresh oregano1 bunch fresh dill3 ounces feta cheese or whole fat yogurt
Directions
  1. Place 2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes and 1 tablespoon of salt in a large saucepan. Add enough cool water to cover by 1 inch, bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, simmer until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. While potatoes are cooking, thinly slice 3 medium scallions 1/4 cup), mince 1 garlic clove, add to a large bowl, then add the juice of 1 large lemon (1/4 cup), 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk to combine.
  4. Pick the leaves from fresh oregano and finely chop until you have 1/4 cup. Pick the fronds from fresh dill and finely chop until you have 2 tablespoons. Crumble 3 ounces feta cheese or add yogurt (about 1/2 cup).
  5. When the potatoes are ready, drain in a colander. Rinse under cold water just until the potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, about 10 seconds.
  6. Halve the potatoes (or quarter if large) and transfer to the bowl of dressing. Add the oregano, dill, and feta/yogurt, and gently toss to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. Serve warm or at room temperature.Â
