Ingredients
- 2 lbs potatoes
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash potatoes thoroughly and cut into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for extra nutrition and fiber.
- Place potato cubes in a large pot of salted water, ensuring they are completely covered.
- Bring water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-high and cook potatoes until tender, approximately 12-15 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking, prepare the other ingredients by finely chopping celery and red onion.
- Drain potatoes in a colander and let them cool for 10 minutes, allowing excess moisture to evaporate.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mustard, salt, and pepper to create a creamy dressing.
- Add cooled potato cubes, chopped celery, and red onion to the yogurt mixture.
- Gently fold all ingredients together, ensuring potatoes are evenly coated with dressing.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if needed, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Keep the potato skins on for maximum nutrition and a rustic texture that adds extra fiber and flavor.
- Use Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative to traditional mayonnaise - it provides the same creamy consistency with significantly fewer calories.
- Allow the potato salad to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors fully develop and meld together.
- For best results, use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes that hold their shape well after cooking.
- Make sure to salt the potato cooking water generously to enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
- If you want to add extra freshness, consider garnishing with chopped fresh herbs like dill, chives, or parsley just before serving.
- This potato salad can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for meal prep or potluck gatherings.
