Ingredients

3 pounds red potatoes, scrubbed clean and quartered no need to peel
1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt, plus more to taste see note
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
⅓ cup chopped fresh dill plus more for garnish
2 scallions, finely sliced
2 tablespoons capers roughly chopped
A squeeze of lemon juice, to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large pot, bring water to a boil, enough to cover potatoes. Boil the quartered potatoes until fork tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and give it a quick rinse with cold water. Set aside. Tip: Make sure they are fork tender - don't overcook them, otherwise they won't hold the dressing properly.
Make the dressing: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, dijon mustard, fresh dill, scallions, capers, fresh lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the prepared dressing with the cooked potatoes. Enjoy! It tastes best when cold, so I'd recommend refrigerating it for a few hours or overnight.

Notes

Greek yogurt makes this salad a better and lighter choice. However, if you want extra flavor in the dressing, feel free to use half sour cream and half mayonnaise instead.
Boil potatoes until fork tender, don’t overcook them. If they get too soft, they won’t properly hold the dressing.
Storing: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Make ahead: This salad can be made up to 1 day in advance for best results, and leftovers can be stored for 2 more days after.

Substitutions and variations:

Greek yogurt: Try sour cream, mayonnaise, or a combination of both.
Capers: Chopped pickles are a great substitute.
Lemon juice: Feel free to omit, or use a small splash of white vinegar.
Red potatoes: Yukon gold or baby potatoes.
