Prepare the Potatoes
  1. Wash the potatoes and place them in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Combine and Serve
  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm potatoes, chopped parsley, chives, and red onion. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  2. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
