Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (about 3 to 4 medium) russet potatoes peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • ½ cup (about 1 medium rib) finely diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped gherkins
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup plain low-fat yogurt (not Greek)
  • ¾ teaspoon mustard powder
  • ¾ teaspoon celery salt
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer, stirring once or twice, until the potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Add the white vinegar and, using a silicone spatula, toss gently to combine. Let stand until potatoes come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, yogurt, celery, gherkins, red onion, parsley, mustard powder, celery salt, and black pepper. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the dressing and the hard-boiled eggs into the potatoes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
