Ingredients
- 3 pounds red potatoes quartered
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 medium shallot finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup fresh dill chopped
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large microwave-safe dish and add 2 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave for 2-3 minutes or until fork tender. (Cooking time will vary by microwave, so check after 2 minutes. Potatoes should be tender enough to split with a fork, but still firm).
- Remove potatoes from dish and drain. Spread out in a single layer on a large baking sheet to dry completed. Blot gently with a paper towel, if needed.
- In a small glass bowl, add mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, shallot, mustard, and fresh herbs. Stir to combine thoroughly. Add potatoes to a separate bowl and gradually add mayonnaise mixture and toss to coat. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: Don’t add all of the mayonnaise mixture at once so you have more control over how much is added to your potato salad.
