Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds red potatoes quartered
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place potatoes in a large microwave-safe dish and add 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave for 2-3 minutes or until fork tender. Note: 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 the dish and drain. Spread out in a single layer on a large baking sheet to dry completely. 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

When considering different types of potatoes you could use in a potato salad, you could easily transform this recipe from just using red potatoes to using different kinds altogether. For example, popular recipes for potato salad using three potatoes often combine red, russet and sweet potatoes.
