Potato Salad With Tartar Sauce and Fresh Herbs

Step 1

Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high. Add the potatoes and cook until tender when speared with a fork, about 10 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a large colander to drain and cool.

Step 2

While the potatoes cook, prepare the tartar sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced pickles and 2 tablespoons pickle brine, minced capers, garlic and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.

Step 3

Once cool enough to handle, slice the cooked potatoes crosswise into 1-centimeter-thick rounds. Transfer to a large bowl, drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining 3 tablespoons pickle brine. Season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Arrange on a large serving platter in an even layer, setting some of the rounded pieces skin-side up.

Step 4

Just before serving, drizzle with the tartar sauce and top with torn parsley and dill. Zest the lemon on top and serve right away.
