The Best Kind of Potatoes to Use

We use red potatoes in this red potato salad because they are creamy, quick to boil, and so delicious!

If you don’t have red potatoes, feel free to use any potato of your choosing. Idaho potatoes, russet potatoes, fingerling potatoes, or anything in-between. Just be sure that you cut whatever potatoes you use all the same size.

How to Make Potato Salad

1. Boil the potatoes. Rinse your red potatoes and if they are bigger red potatoes quarter them and so they boil a bit quicker and if your potatoes are smaller, go ahead and just throw them in.
2. Mash the potatoes. Once your potatoes are fork tender strain them in a colander and rinse them with cold water. Dry your potatoes off and place them in a large bowl and gently mash some of the potatoes so you have both chunks of potatoes and some creamed potatoes. Set aside.
3. Make the potato salad sauce. Place the Greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, pickle juice, fresh dill, green onions, dijon, salt, and pepper into a separate bowl and mix everything together until combined.
4. Mix them together. Pour the Greek yogurt sauce over the red potatoes and fold the sauce into the potatoes until the potatoes are completely covered.
5. Serve or Refrigerate. Top the potato salad with fresh chopped dill and serve OR refrigerate.

Serve it cold! We prefer to serve this potato salad cold, so be sure to place it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours to chill.
