Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (or red potatoes) scrubbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 4 large eggs farm-fresh if possible
  • 3 stalks celery finely diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional garnish
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, add salt, and simmer until fork-tender.
  • Boil eggs until firm, then chop and set aside.
  • Whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt, pickle relish, vinegar, mustard, sugar, and seasonings.
  • Combine potatoes, celery, onion, dressing, and half of the chopped eggs.
  • Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes to meld flavors.
  • Top with remaining eggs, paprika, and celery leaves before serving.

Notes

Choose waxy potatoes for firmer texture. Use whole-milk yogurt for creaminess. Letting the salad rest overnight enhances the flavors.
