Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
• 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain and unsweetened)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 celery stalks (diced)
• 0.25 cups red onion (finely diced)
• 2 tbsp parsley (chopped)
• 2 tbsp chives (chopped)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 hard-boiled eggs (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes to remove any dirt. Cut larger potatoes into bite-sized pieces to ensure everything cooks evenly.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Do not overcook, as you want the potatoes to hold their shape.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and let them cool for about 10 minutes. You can spread them on a baking sheet to cool faster.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl of dressing. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 6

Stir in the diced celery, red onion, parsley, and chives. If using hard-boiled eggs, add them now too.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs to your preference.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
