Notes
*Add potatoes to a large pot and fill with water to cover. Bring potatoes to a boil, and reduce to a light simmer. Heavily salt the water. Cook potatoes until just fork tender, about 20-25 minutes depending on the size of your potatoes. Drain potatoes and let cool to room temperature.
**I like to use homemade roasted red peppers for this salad. I just place the peppers on a sheet tray and broil them on all sides until blackened all over. Add them to a bowl and cover to let the steam. Let steam in the bowl covered for at least 20 minutes, then peel and remove skin and seeds.

Delicious! Made the recipe almost completely as directed, I doubled the celery bc I love the crunch. So delicious, the lemon zest and fresh herbs are a must and really make this potato salad so refreshing and yummy.
