Method
Step 1
Place potatoes in a saucepan of cold water. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and gently simmer for 15 mins or until a skewer can be inserted through the potatoes without much resistance but the potatoes remain intact. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a baking tray and set aside for 5 mins to cool.
Step 2
Meanwhile, grate the rind from the lemon into a large bowl. Juice the lemon and add ¼ cup (60ml) lemon juice to the bowl. Whisk in shallots and oil. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Thickly slice potatoes. Arrange half the potatoes on a serving platter. Spoon over half the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with half the chives, dill and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat layering with remaining potatoes, vinaigrette, chives, dill and parsley. Sprinkle with olives and fetta. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
