Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.

In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the potato pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Toss the potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
While the potatoes are roasting, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, vinegar, honey, and mustard in a small bowl. Whisk until the ingredients are well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Finely chop the parsley, dill, and chives. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large bowl. Add the chopped parsley, dill, and chives.
Pour the dressing over the potatoes and herbs. Gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing and the herbs are well distributed.
