Equipment

  • large pot
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • strainer

Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • pinch pepper
  • pounds red potatoes cut into small wedges
  • ½ sweet onion chopped very finely (you can leave this out if you don't like onion)
  • 2 Tablespoons dill (I think fresh tastes the best)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together mayonnaise, yogurt, dijon mustard, garlic salt, olive oil, vinegar, and pepper until completely combined to make a dressing.
  • In a large pot, place potato wedges and cover with water. Cook over medium-high heat until tender (about 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the chunks).
  • Once potatoes are tender, drain and add to the large bowl of dressing. Toss to coat.
  • Mix in sweet onion and dill. You can serve it warm, or refrigerate for 2-3 hours and serve cold.

Notes

The key to cooking perfect potatoes for red potato salad: simmer them instead of a hard boil. You want your potatoes to be soft and creamy and so that when you pierce them with a fork, they are tender.
Depending on the size that you cut your potatoes into (and make sure that they are cut into evenly-sized pieces), the potatoes should cook in 8-12 minutes.
