Servings: 6 -8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes or other waxy potato
- 1 cup finely chopped celery optional for crunch
Dressing
- ¼ cup good quality mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon white wine or white cooking wine
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped tarragon can use dry
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives can use dry
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the dressing for the potatoes by mixing the mayo, yogurt, herbs, garlic and onion powders, wine, mustard, and salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl until well incorporated. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil
- Chop your potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes
- Add them to the boiling water and reduce to a medium heat
- Boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender when you pierce them with a fork or knife
- Drain the potatoes in a colander. Let them cool, then toss with the dressing. Add celery (if using) and toss to incorporate.
- Put in fridge for at least one hour and serve.
Notes
- Small potatoes are always great for potato salad. They boil quickly and evenly, thanks to being pretty consistent in size, and boost the salad’s overall flavor.
- You can use waxy potatoes in your potato salad. Look for New, Red Bliss, Kennebec or fingerling potatoes at the grocery store.
