This Healthy Mustard Potato Salad is creamy, tangy, and made with Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Plus it is vegetarian, gluten-free, and nut-free.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2.5 lb baby new potatoes thoroughly washed
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup full fat greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 shallots grated
- 1 garlic clove minced
- Chives a small bunch, finely chopped
- Curly parsley a small bunch, finely chopped
Instructions
- Place whole unpeeled potatoes into a large soup pot and add enough cold water to cover.
- Place over high heat and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes depending on their size.
- Drain potatoes and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Allow the potatoes to completely chill. (You can make this step ahead and keep them refrigerated for up to 5 days).
- While the potatoes cool, in a small bowl mix the remaining ingredients.
- Once the potatoes are cool, you can either peel if desired, or chop them with the skin on. Cut into small bite size cubes.
- Toss the potatoes with the mustard-yogurt sauce; taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve cold and enjoy!
Notes
- Baby new potatoes: New potatoes don't refer to a specific variety, but just mean young potatoes. They hold their shape well and have a creamy texture after cooking. Some options for new potatoes are baby red potatoes, baby Yukon golds, or baby yellow potatoes.
- Greek yogurt: We suggest using full fat yogurt for the most creamy texture.
- Dijon mustard: You can substitute with yellow mustard or spicy brown mustard, but each one will have a different flavor. Choose your favorite.
- Shallots: If you don't have shallots, substitute with sweet onion or red onion.
- Choosing potatoes: Try to choose small, evenly sized potatoes. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cooking tip: After the water comes to a boil, simmer the potatoes instead of boiling. This also helps them cook more evenly.
