Ingredients to make Classic Healthier Potato Salad –

Mayonnnaise – just a small amount makes this taste like the classic version we all love as well as helping to stabilize the greek yogurt.
Yellow mustard – gives it a nice tang along with a beautiful color.
Potatoes – red, white, russet – they all work. Peeled or unpeeled depending on your preference. We used red unpeeled potatoes for this recipe.
Celery
Boiled eggs – boil your own or purchase already boiled eggs from most grocery stores.
Green onions
Sweet pickle relish or diced sweet pickles.
salt and pepper

We start by mixing up our greek yogurt, mayo and mustard.

Cook the potatoes and boil the eggs –

Cut your potatoes in quarters. Place in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. About 10-12 minutes. When fork tender drain and rinse. Let cool and chop into 1/4 inch pieces.
Meanwhile in another sauce pan add 3 eggs. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling cook for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cool bowl of water. Peel and chop.

Celery, onions and sweet pickle relish –

Dice the celery and chop the green onions.
We use sweet pickle relish but if you prefer you can dice up whole sweet pickles.

Toss it all together –

Add the potatoes, celery, onions and relish to a large bowl.
Toss in the celery and onions.
Add the yogurt mixture and eggs. Toss gently. Refrigerate for several hours, even better if overnight.
This recipe requires a generous amount of salt and pepper. Taste, taste, taste!
