Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes
  2. 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
  3. 1/2 pound slab bacon, small dice
  4. 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  5. 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  6. 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  7. 6 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
  8. 1 small red onion, small dice
  9. 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  10. 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  11. 2 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped

Instructions

  1. Put the potatoes in a medium-size saucepan and cover with cold water; add 1 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, saute the bacon in a skillet over medium-low heat until crispy, about 12 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes (do not rinse), transfer to a baking sheet and let cool for 6 to 8 minutes, then cut into quarters.
  3. In a bowl large enough to mix the potatoes, combine the vinegar, yogurt, mustard, scallions, red onion, sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to the bowl, add the bacon and hard-boiled eggs and mix by folding carefully. Serve at room temperature.

Unfortunately, I really didn’t care for this. I wanted to like it because there was no mayo and it had higher protein from the yogurt, but I found it flavorless and just not good. It was also missing texture.
Other reviewers said they did not notice the yogurt taste but I found it very pronounced. I followed the directions exactly as written and only added extra salt and celery for flavor and texture.

I made it for a Memorial Day BBQ and no one ate it 🙁

This recipe is fabulous! I saw it on The Kitchen also and couldn’t wait to make it. Hubby and our 11 year old twins absolutely loved it. Thanks for another great recipe Mr. & Mrs. Tila! It truly is EPIC!

My wife and I saw this on The Kitchen and I made it that day, delicious!!!!  Flash forward about 16 months and I have made it at lest once every other month since.  It’s easily one of our top 5 side dishes and is especially good with Nashville Chicken burgers off the Blackstone, next to a camp fire at our favorite lakeside camp site.

Delicious. Even better the next day!

I thought the potato salad was good, my husband thought it was bland. I did leave out the red onion (not a fan of onions potato salad). Next time I think I would use more mustard. A nice change from regular potato salad.

Made this today and I it is one everyone will love.  I cut the sugar in half though as I’m not a fan of sweet dressings.  It turned out just right. Great flavor and texture.  A keeper.
