Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 3 Green onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill (optional, chopped)
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes (peeling is optional if you prefer a more rustic texture). Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the pot.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook, as the potatoes should hold their shape.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Let them cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Once the potatoes are cool, gently fold in the celery, green onions, red onion, and dill (if using).
Pour the yogurt-sour cream dressing over the potato mixture. Carefully toss to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated without breaking them.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preferences.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy as a side dish for picnics, BBQs, or any meal!
