Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the sliced potatoes and cook until tender but firm, about 20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Place them in a large bowl.
In a saucepan, warm the vegetable broth over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onions and let them simmer until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Pour the onion and broth mixture over the potatoes while still warm. This allows the potatoes to absorb the flavors fully.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, oil, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to ensure every slice is coated.
Sprinkle the chopped chives or parsley over the salad as a garnish for a fresh finish.
Notes
For a crunchier texture, add some crispy bacon bits or sliced radishes. Serve warm for a more authentic flavor experience.
