• Beat the egg yolks in a bowl with a whisk until they are thick and sticky. Add the vinegar and mustard and beat some more.
• Gradually add a few drops of safflower oil and whisk them in. Continue adding safflower and olive oils, increasing the amount as you go, until you have a smooth emulsion. (If you add the oil too quickly and the mayonnaise curdles, add another egg yolk.) Season with salt and pepper.

Add the herbs and onion and toss gently, taking care not to break the potatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt, bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, just until tender when pierced with a small knife or skewer. Drain in a colander. Put a kitchen towel over the colander and allow the potatoes to steam for 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and slice 1/2 inch thick. Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl. Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. While the potatoes are still warm, pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss well. Add the scallions, red onion, tarragon, and dill and toss gently. Allow the salad to sit for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to develop. Sprinkle with salt and serve at room temperature.
