A budget-friendly, creamy potato salad made with simple pantry staples, perfect for potlucks, picnics, and quick weeknight meals. This make-ahead recipe features tender potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and a tangy homemade dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 4 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced thinly (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by an inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 12–15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender but still firm when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. While potatoes cook, place eggs in another pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to cold water immediately, then peel once cool. Chop roughly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sweet pickle relish, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. In a large bowl, add the drained potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, and green onions. Pour the dressing over and gently fold together with a spatula, careful not to break the potatoes.
  5. Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to let flavors meld. Before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top.

Notes

Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes to hold shape. Avoid overcooking potatoes to prevent mushiness. Gently fold salad ingredients to keep potato chunks intact. Make salad ahead to let flavors meld. Add extra mayo or yogurt if potatoes absorb too much dressing after chilling.
