Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the Yukon gold potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized, bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch cubes).
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water, then bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
When the potatoes are done, drain them and allow them to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, diced celery, chopped red onion, parsley, and dill.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the potato salad chilled and garnish with additional parsley or dill, if desired.
