Ingredients

• 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 medium Celery stalks
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 2 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized chunks for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water, then bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Avoid overcooking; you want the potatoes to hold their shape.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well-blended.

Step 6

Dice the celery stalks, finely chop the red onion, and mince the fresh dill. Add these to the dressing for added crunch and flavor.

Step 7

Peel and dice the hard-boiled eggs, then gently fold them into the dressing.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are cool, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently mix until all pieces are evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper to suit your taste preferences.

Step 10

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Before serving, sprinkle paprika over the top for a pop of color.

Step 12

Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy potato salad!
