Print Recipe

A bright and creamy potato salad featuring fresh dill and hard boiled eggs, perfect for summer BBQs and gatherings. This recipe balances tangy Greek yogurt with mayonnaise for a luscious yet light side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, medium-sized, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 4 large hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh dill
  • ½ cup (120ml) full-fat mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup (60ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 stalk celery, finely diced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika
  • Optional: dash of garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Place 4 large eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by about an inch (2.5 cm). Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer eggs to cold water immediately to stop cooking. Peel and chop once cool.
  2. While eggs are cooking, wash and chop 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes into uniform bite-sized chunks. Place in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are just tender—about 12-15 minutes.
  3. Drain potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly until warm but not hot.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gently fold the warm potatoes, chopped eggs, fresh dill, diced celery, and sliced green onions into the dressing. Mix carefully to avoid breaking up the potatoes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or vinegar if needed. Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika if desired.
  7. Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for best texture. Be gentle when mixing to avoid mashing potatoes. Chilling the salad for at least an hour enhances flavor. Fresh dill is preferred but frozen dill can be used. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut-based yogurt and mayonnaise with avocado mayo.
