Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 stalks celery stalks
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Peel both the Yukon gold potatoes and sweet potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes.
Place the potatoes in two separate pots (to prevent color bleeding) and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to each pot.
Bring both pots to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool completely.
While the potatoes are cooling, finely chop the celery, red onion, and parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the cooled Yukon and sweet potatoes into the dressing to coat evenly.
Add the chopped celery, red onion, and parsley into the bowl and gently mix to combine.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve the Two Tone Potato Salad chilled, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
