Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon gold or creamer potatoes cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon dijon
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs such as dill and parsley chopped

Instructions

  • In a large pot, cover the cubed potatoes with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer the potatoes until they're fork tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain potatoes and rinse with cold water. Place them back into the pot and add in the vinegar (or pickle juice). Toss until they're coated.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, add the Greek yogurt, mayo, dijon, pickle juice, celery seed, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together.
  • Add the potatoes, celery, red onion, pickles, and herbs into the mixing bowl. Gently stir together with a rubber spatula until everything is well combined. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed.
  • Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

  • The covered potato salad will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. 
  • If you like hard boiled eggs in your potato salad, chop up 3 of them and stir them in.
