    Creamy Red Potato Salad Perfect For Cookouts

    May 21, 2019 Filed Under: Side Dishes, Side-Potatoes, Vegetables

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    This Creamy Red Potato Salad is loaded with flavor from the fresh herbs and dash of Dijon mustard making it delicious for any cookout or picnic.

    This Creamy Dijon Red Potato Salad will add some zest to your next picnic or cookout. It is simple to make and best if made a day ahead to allow the flavors to fully develop.

    I use red potatoes for this, but if you want to add other colors, or even mixed colors like blue and red that would work too. Leave the skins on for some added color, just be sure to scrub your potatoes thoroughly before cooking. Just make sure your potato pieces are all about the same size before cooking.

    Ingredients
     

    • 3 pounds red potatoes (washed, dried, and cut into quarters)
    • ¾ cup mayonnaise
    • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
    • 1 medium shallot (outer skin removed and finely chopped)
    • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    • ½ cup fresh dill (chopped)
    • ½ cup fresh parsley (chopped)
    • salt and pepper (to taste)

    Instructions
     

    • Place cut potatoes in a large microwave-safe dish and add 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave for 2 minutes. Potatoes should be tender enough to split with a fork, but still firm. If they are still too firm microwave another minute and check.
    • Remove potatoes from dish and spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet to dry.
    • In a large bowl, add mayonnaise, yogurt, shallot, mustard and fresh herbs. Stir to combine thoroughly.
    • Add potatoes to dressing and toss to coat.
    • Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. Add salt and pepper to taste just before serving.

      I love that you used yogurt in this potato salad, gives it a little bit of a zing and lightens the dressing up.
