Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Baby red potatoes
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Light mayonnaise
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tbsp Adobo sauce
- 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp Honey
- 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the baby red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks (leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition).
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet or large plate to cool to room temperature.
While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, and honey. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked and cooled potatoes, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
Pour the chipotle dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, sprinkle a little paprika on top for a pop of color.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy this smoky, spicy, and Weight Watchers-friendly potato salad!
