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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes (peeling is optional if you prefer a more rustic texture). Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the pot.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Let them cool to room temperature.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cool, gently fold in the celery, green onions, red onion, and dill (if using).

Step 7

Pour the yogurt-sour cream dressing over the potato mixture. Carefully toss to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated without breaking them.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preferences.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy as a side dish for picnics, BBQs, or any meal!
