Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 0.5 cup Low-fat mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 stalks (diced) Celery
  • 0.25 cup (finely diced) Red onion
  • 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
  • 2 large (chopped) Hard-boiled eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces) for uniform cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, mix the low-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a large mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. For quicker cooling, spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are slightly warm or room temperature, gently fold them into the dressing mixture, being careful not to mash them.

Step 7

Add the diced celery, red onion, chopped parsley, and hard-boiled eggs. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 8

Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
