Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium-sized russet potatoes
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 piece small celery stalk
- 4 pieces baby carrots
- 2 pieces hard-boiled eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the potatoes for 40 minutes or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a knife. Let them cool completely before handling.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the other ingredients. Dice the celery and baby carrots finely. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, sweet pickle relish, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a creamy dressing.
Once the potatoes are cool, cut each one lengthwise into halves. Carefully scoop out the centers, leaving about a 1/4-inch shell to form the ‘boat.’ Place the scooped potato filling into a separate bowl.
Mash the scooped potato filling with a fork. Add the diced celery, carrots, chopped eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and the dressing. Mix well to combine.
Spoon the potato salad mixture back into the hollowed-out potato boats, packing it gently.
If desired, garnish the tops with chopped chives for a pop of color.
Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a refreshing cold salad. Enjoy!
