Peel the potatoes if desired and cut them into bite-sized cubes.

Cook the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 10-15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature.
Prepare the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes with the chopped onion, cucumber (if using), parsley, and dill.
Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to combine.
Chill
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve
Serve the Turkish potato salad chilled as a side dish with grilled meats, kebabs, or a variety of other Turkish dishes.
Tips & Tricks

Use waxy potatoes to maintain the shape and texture of the salad.
