Creamy Red Potato Salad with Fresh Herbs

Side Dishes

Spread the love

Nothing says “summer picnic” like potato salad. Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this creamy red potato salad. It comes together in just a few minutes.

Perfect for backyard cookouts, potlucks, and of course, picnics, this is a go-to side dish recipe for my family in the spring and summer. For best results, make this dish a day in advance so the flavors have a chance to fully mingle. 

Serve this potato salad with these scrumptious halloumi kebabs. Sausage, Halloumi, and eggplant are combined for some BBQ fare that is out of this world.

Instructions:

Place cut potatoes in a large microwave-safe dish and add 2 T. water. Cover and microwave for 2-3 minutes or until fork tender. (Cooking time will vary by microwave, so check after 2 minutes. Potatoes should be tender enough to split with a fork, but still firm).

Remove potatoes from dish and spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet to dry. Blot gently with a paper towel, if needed.

In a small glass bowl, add mayonnaise, yogurt, shallot, mustard and fresh herbs. Stir to combine thoroughly. Add potatoes to a separate bowl and gradually add mayonnaise mixture and toss to coat. (Don’t add all of the mayonnaise mixture at once in case you decide you want less on your potato salad). Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days.
