Creamy Potato Salad
I don't like typical potato salad that is dripping with soybean oil mayonnaise. In fact, I don't really like the flavor of mayonnaise at all. I created a potato salad that gets its creaminess from olive oil mayonnaise, without having so much mayo that you can actually taste it :)
Creamy Potato Salad
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes -- peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
6 tablespoons olive oil mayonnaise
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1½ tablespoons yellow mustard
1 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper (or more, to taste)
3 hard boiled eggs -- coarsely chopped
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Turn stove to high heat, cover the pot, and bring the water and potatoes to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 8 minutes, covered. Use a fork to test if the potatoes are tender. Drain off the cooking liquid and put the cooked potatoes in a serving bowl.
While the potatoes are cooking: combine mayonnaise, plain yogurt, mustard, celery, red onion, sea salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine thoroughly. Pour this mixture over the potatoes, and stir to combine. Add the chopped eggs and stir again. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
