Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds red potatoes washed, dried, and cut into quarters
  • ¾ c. mayonnaise
  • ¾ c. plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium shallot outer skin removed and finely chopped
  • 3 T. Dijon mustard
  • ½ c. fresh dill chopped
  • ½ c. fresh parsley chopped
  • ½ t garlic salt
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prep the potatoes. Be sure to wash and dry them thoroughly. (We recommend using a vegetable brush. Then cut them into quarters or bite-size chunks. 
  • Prep the shallot by peeling and chopping it into small pieces. 
  • Chop the dill and parsley.
  • Add the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of water to a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl and cook for 2-3 minutes. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender but firm and not falling apart. (Cook time will vary based upon the microwave.)
  • Remove the potatoes and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Blot them with paper towels and then allow them to dry. (Reserve the bowl)
  • In a medium-sized non-reactive bowl, add the garlic salt, mayo, yogurt, shallot, mustard, and herbs. Stir to combine. 
  • Add the dry potatoes back to the large bowl. Slowly stir in the mayo mixture and mix until the potatoes are fully coated. 
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill.
  • Serve cold.

Notes

We leave the skin on the potatoes because we love the texture for this potato salad. Feel free to peel the potatoes if you prefer.
