Ingredients

  • 2 lb. red potatoes, quartered (or baby yellow potatoes) (if using red potatoes, make sure they’re on the smaller size)
  • 4 hard boiled eggs chopped
  • 1/3 cup celery chopped
  • 1/3 cup parsley chopped
  • 2 tbsp chives chopped, plus more for garnish
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the dressing:

  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Add the potatoes to a large pot and fill it with water so the water covers the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, 5-8 minutes; drain and allow the potatoes to cool a bit.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, hard boil the eggs if you haven’t already.
  • Next, make the dressing: add all of the dressing ingredients to your food processor or a small blender and blend until it’s smooth.
  • Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the eggs, celery, parsley, chives, and salt and pepper to the bowl, then pour the dressing over everything and gently toss to combine.
  • Cover the bowl with a lid and place the potatoes in the refrigerator (if eating cold); or, add more chopped chives on top, along with additional salt and pepper if needed and enjoy!
