Healthy Potato Salad recipe
Healthy and colourful recipe for Potato Salad. Instead of mayonaise, the dressing is made with low-fat yoghurt and vinegar.

Ingredients

450 grams (small) Yukon Gold Potatoes
450 grams (small) Red Skin Potatoes
1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
1/3 Cup Plain Non-Fat Yogurt
1/4 Cup White Wine Vinegar
1 (small) Bunch Green Onions (chopped - greens and all)
1/2 Cup Flat Leaf Parsley (chopped)
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper

Directions

Place potatoes and 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a large pot of water. Water should cover the potatoes by at least 1 inch. Potatoes should all be of a similar size if they are not, cut them to size.

Bring the water to a boil then turn down heat to simmer for 15 - 20 minutes. Potatoes should be tender when pierced with a knife.

Drain the potatoes in a colander then set the colander over the empty pot to finish draining and to cool.

In a small bowl combine yogurt, vinegar, green onions and parsley.

Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Once potatoes are cooled, dump them into a large bowl.

If potatoes are in bigger pieces than you would like, cut them down to size.

Pour yogurt mixture over the top of the potatoes and stir to combine.

Add kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

Hi, Can we use other vinegar besides white wine, Normal white or Apple cider?

Hi Toby

You could substitute it, but the flavour would be subtly altered. White wine vinegar has a distinct taste, while white vinegar only tastes of its own acidity.

However, you could try using plain white vinegar and adding some lemon juice.

Pouring the yogurt mixture over the hot potatoes allows them to absorb some of the mixture and makes it even nicer. Try this with mayonaise too. This was recommended by the Potato Board in their recipe book.
