Ingredients

• 2 lbs Baby red potatoes
• 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Light mayonnaise
• 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 tbsp Adobo sauce
• 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp Honey
• 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks (leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition).

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet or large plate to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, and honey. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked and cooled potatoes, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.

Step 6

Pour the chipotle dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, sprinkle a little paprika on top for a pop of color.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy this smoky, spicy, and Weight Watchers-friendly potato salad!
