Prep Time 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes minutes
Total Time 1 hour hour
Servings 4 as a side
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes scrubbed
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- About 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 3 tablespoons chopped dill
- At least 3 tablespoons snipped chives
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion or thinly sliced scallions
Put the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salt in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer the potatoes over moderate heat until tender, about 25-30 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Allow the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, vinegar, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, herbs, and salt and pepper to taste (approx. 1/2 -1 tsp of each). Set aside.
When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into 2 inch chunks. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl. While the potatoes are still warm, pour enough dressing over them to moisten well. Add the celery (if using) and red onion. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Serve cold or at room temperature.
