Creamy Potato Salad Recipe

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 pounds fingerling or other small waxy thin-skinned potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise or soy mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons diced gherkin pickles
  • 2 tablespoons drained capers, rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  1. Hard-cook eggs (see Tip). Peel eggs and chop coarsely.
  2. Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with lightly salted water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain; let cool for about 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, yogurt, oil, anchovy paste and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
  4. Cut potatoes into cubes and place in a large bowl. Add vinegar and salt; toss gently to coat. Add bell pepper, onion, celery, parsley, gherkins, capers, chives, chopped eggs and the mayonnaise mixture; toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
