Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until they are just tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey or sugar if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm potatoes with the sliced red onion, parsley, and chives. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
