Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 120 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 stalks spring onions (green onions)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes to clean them. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure uniform cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
Chop the fresh parsley and dill finely. Thinly slice the spring onions. Add them to the yogurt-mustard dressing and mix well.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool for about 5-10 minutes. You want them to be warm but not piping hot.
Transfer the warm potatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss until all the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.
Let the potato salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately as a side dish, or refrigerate for up to 2 days for a chilled potato salad option.
