Place potatoes in a large pot of well salted cold water; bring to a boil over high heat; simmer until potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 5 minutes. Drain; transfer potatoes to a large rimmed baking sheet to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, split each one in half lengthwise. Transfer to a large bowl. Add half of each of these - oregano, parsley, garlic and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper; toss until potatoes are well-coated.
Combine remaining oregano, parsley, olive oil, garlic, scallions, shallots, and mustard in a large bowl.
Place potatoes cut-side-down over direct heat on an inside or outside preheated grill; cook, turning occasionally, until well-browned and crisp on both sides, 5 - 8 minutes. As they finish cooking, transfer potatoes to the bowl with the olive oil and herb mixture.
Slice the lemon in half; place cut side down over heat. Grill until well browned, about 5 minutes. Squeeze grilled lemon into the bowl with potatoes. Toss to thoroughly coat in the fresh herb, olive oil, mustard and lemon juice mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately.
