Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 Lbs. Russet potatoes  (about 3 medium); boiled whole with peel on
  • 1/4 Small Onion, chopped fine
  • 3 Eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 3 Baby dill pickles, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. Mayonnaise, more to taste
  • 2 Tbsp. Fat free Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp. Pickle juice, from dill pickles
  • 1 Tbsp. German stone ground mustard
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 Tsp. Paprika
  • 2 Tbsp. Flat leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Scrub your potatoes and place them in a large pot of cool water with a pinch of salt. You are going to bring the water to a boil and cook for 25 – 30 minutes until you can pierce them with a knife tip easily. Let the potatoes cool until you can easily handle. NOTE: you are boiling these potatoes whole and with the skin on.
  • Using a vegetable peeler or small paring knife, peel the boiled potatoes and cut them into chunks. Add the potatoes to a large bowl.
  • Finely chop the onion and the baby dill pickles and add them to the bowl. Gently mix.
  • Peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut them into small slices and add them to the potatoes in the bowl. Gently fold into the potato mix.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, in a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the mayo, yogurt, pickle juice, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and stir well. Taste the potato salad and add more salt and pepper if needed. If the potatoes seem to dry, add a little more mayo or yogurt one tablespoon at a time. Refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Dust the salad with paprika and sprinkle the salad with the parsley and serve.
