Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled jalapeños (chopped)
Instructions
Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on for texture.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Allow them to steam-dry for about 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Sriracha sauce, apple cider vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooled potatoes to the mixing bowl and gently toss them with the dressing until evenly coated.
Fold in the green onions, cilantro, and pickled jalapeños to add freshness and heat.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or Sriracha if desired.
Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish for barbecued meats, sandwiches, or grilled vegetables.
