A fresh and creamy potato salad with vibrant red, white, and blue colors, perfect for summer gatherings and patriotic celebrations. This easy recipe combines classic creaminess with bright, crunchy veggies and a tangy dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • Optional: 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Place the cut red potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork but not falling apart, about 12-15 minutes.
  2. Drain potatoes in a colander and rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking. Let them cool to room temperature.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Dice the celery, red bell pepper, and green onions. Chop the hard-boiled eggs. If using, rinse blueberries gently and pat dry.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, gently fold the cooled potatoes with the dressing, celery, bell pepper, green onions, parsley, and eggs. Fold in blueberries last if using.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, gently stir the salad and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

Do not overboil potatoes to avoid mushy salad. Cool potatoes before mixing to prevent watery dressing. Fold ingredients gently to keep potatoes chunky. Chill for at least one hour for best flavor. If salad is too thick after chilling, stir in a teaspoon or two of cold water or more Greek yogurt.
