Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with oil.
  2. Cut the Yukon gold potatoes into quarters and spread them on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until tender and golden brown.
  3. Chop the green onions and cucumber into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine them with the pistachios, fresh dill, and parsley.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes until smooth.
  5. Transfer the warm roasted potatoes to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss until they are evenly coated.
  6. Fold in the prepared vegetables, mixing carefully to avoid breaking the tender potatoes.
  7. Serve warm or let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a refreshing cold salad.
