PREPARATION: Place potatoes in a large pot of water over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, cooking until just tender. Remove from heat and drain potatoes. Let cool to room temperature. While potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. Mix olive oil, mustard, sherry vinegar and shallots in a large liquid measuring cup. Finely chop herbs and whisk them into the dressing. Once potatoes are cool, chop into bite sized pieces. Place potatoes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle dressing over potatoes. Toss to mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Best served at room temperature.
