Instructions
- Generously salt a saucepan of water and add the peeled and diced potatoes. Cook until fully fork-tender, but make sure not to overcook. For medium-sized potato chunks, you will need around 12-15 minutes.
- Prepare the other vegetables by de-seeding and dicing the peppers, peeling and dicing the onion, and peeling and chopping the carrots. Also finely chop the dill and cilantro.
- Drain and rinse the potatoes, and shake them a few times in the colander to fluff up. Then, transfer them to a large mixing bowl together with the vegetables, fresh herbs, garlic, pickles and lemon juice. Mix together thoroughly.

Notes
- Make sure to generously salt the water before boiling the potatoes.
- Shaking the potatoes in the colander a few times, like in my recipe for crispy roast potatoes, will help to fluff them up and make the final vegan potato salad creamier.
- Be generous with the fresh herbs and the vegetables!
- This vegan potato salad keeps well in the fridge for 4-5 days in an airtight container.
