If you’re looking for a creamy potato salad to bring to all your summer BBQs and potlucks this year, but aren’t a huge fan of mayo in salads, then please let me introduce you to one of my favorite summer side dishes, the Creamy Greek Yogurt Potato Salad!

How this recipe works

First, you’ll need to know that I’m an ultra lazy cook and try to make my life as easy as possible at all times in the kitchen.

  • I use small new potatoes and don’t peel them; that way I just boil and slice them into rounds
  • I cook the eggs right in the pot with the potatoes
  • I don’t mix the dressing separately, I just chuck everything into one bowl and mix

Step by step photos

Boil the eggs and potatoes, drain and let them cool enough so you can touch them without swearing.

While they’re cooling, chop up some herbs and veggies.

I’m using classic celery, pickles and chives, and I’m also adding sliced green onions for a little zing.

And no, not dill pickles and no chopped dill, because not a huge fan of dill over here. Idk, it’s just not my favorite. Feel free to add some if you like, though.

Then, slice the potatoes and chop the eggs.

I you’re using new potatoes, there’s really no need to peel them.

In fact, I prefer un-peeled potatoes in a potato salad because a) new potatoes are available in summer, and b) it’s just way more interesting.

I’m not using a ton of eggs because I don’t think it’s necessary.

Also, this is potato salad and not egg salad, sooo… Two are plenty in my humble opinion.

Then, everything goes into a bowl with all the dressing ingredients, and all you have to do is toss it until every last potato is covered in the creamy sauce.

The dressing is mainly being made up by Greek yogurt (I use full full FULL fat), sour cream (equally full of fat), pickle juice and mustard.

Don’t worry about smashing the egg into non-recognizable pieces, that’s the whole beauty of this salad (to me at least):

The eggs become kind of part of the dressing and add these little bursts of creamy, fatty awesomeness to the salad.

I’m not going to lie, this is probably one of the most basic-tasting recipes I make, but sometimes I’m basic af and have zero shame about it.

Like when I make my creamy Greek Yogurt based Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad.

I’m not always into these kinds of recipes, but every so often I get a very basic moment and just need to make a creamy, awesome potato salad.
