If you're looking for a super delicious and super simple salad to make for Christmas Day, this is it. But is it really a Christmas Day menu without a potato salad? Definitely not!

It's the perfect side dish to my Lemon & Dill Confit Salmon, and compliments the rest of my Christmas Day Menu for 2021. To make your own Herby Potato Salad on Christmas Day, read on.
Ingredients
1kg potatoes
200g salted butter
Lots of fresh herbs, roughly chopped
Parsley, dill, spring onions and chives. If you can't find fresh dill, 2 tbsp dried dill is also great.
Flaky sea salt and cracked pepper, to season
Method
1. Cut the potatoes in half and boil in water until you can poke a knife through the potatoes, but before they start falling apart.
2. Strain the potatoes when they are cooked through and set aside to cool in a large serving bowl.
3. When you are ready to serve, melt butter in the microwave in 20 second intervals until its completely melted. Pour the melted butter over the cooked potatoes. Add all of the chopped herbs. Carefully stir the ingredients together t combine and coat every single potato. Season with flaky sea salt and cracked pepper and serve immediately.
