Ingredients
  
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • cup Greek yogurt, full-fat, plain
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, coarse ground
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon parsley, dried
  • 5 hard boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 1-2 pickle spears, finely diced
  • ½ medium red onion, finely diced
Instructions
 
  • Wash the potatoes and cut the larger ones in half so the potatoes are all the same size. Then, add them to a stockpot with a teaspoon of salt and cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce the heat and cook at a rolling boil for 20 minutes over medium heat. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool.
  • While waiting on the potatoes, whisk Greek yogurt, mustard, dill, apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley in a mixing bowl until combined. Then, stir in the onion, celery, and pickle.
  • Cut the potatoes into ½- inch cubes. Transfer them to the mixing bowl with the sauce and stir to combine.
  • Add the eggs and gently fold them into the mixture.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper and add it to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.
Notes
Expert Tips: 
  • Cut the potatoes the same size to ensure they cook at the same rate.
  • Start the potatoes in cool water. Then bring them to a boil, and simmer to finish. This process will ensure the potatoes cook evenly.
  • For best results, peel the potatoes under cool water. It's so much easier!
