Ingredients

• 2 pounds Baby red potatoes
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 3 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
• 2 stalks Celery (diced)
• 2 large Hard-boiled eggs (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming mushy.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces and set them aside to cool completely.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, low-fat mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the chopped dill, green onions, diced celery, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the dressing. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

Once the potatoes have completely cooled, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Carefully fold the potatoes into the mixture to ensure they are evenly coated without breaking them apart.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or dill if desired.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle the paprika on top for a touch of color and garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy your Secret Ingredient Low Fat Potato Salad!
