Learn how to make delicious This Is Not Your Grandma’s Potato Salad. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Feel free to substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a tangier taste, or swap feta for goat cheese if you prefer a creamier texture. The heart of cooking is flexibility, just like my grandmother taught me.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  4. While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly before transferring them to a large serving bowl.
  6. Add the red onion, dill, parsley, feta cheese, and toasted pine nuts to the potatoes.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

My abuela always said that a good cook knows when to trust their instincts. As you make this dish, feel free to adjust the seasonings and ingredients to suit your taste. Remember, cooking is an art, not a science.
