Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Potatoes (medium-sized, waxy)
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mrs. Ball's chutney (or a fruit-based chutney)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 medium Red onion (finely chopped)
- 4 pieces Hard-boiled eggs (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook, as you want them to hold their shape.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Mrs. Ball's chutney, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes with the chopped red onion, hard-boiled eggs, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish for barbecues, braais, or any festive meal.
