Instructions
- Wash and dice potatoes into bite size pieces.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water and cook until potatoes are tender. Note: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Drain water and rinse the potatoes under cold water. The cold water will stop them from cooking.
- Meanwhile, in a medium size mixing bowl combine, Light mayo, non fat yogurt, apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, Dijon mustard, unsweetened almond or skim milk, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until well combined. Add additional milk to thin, if necessary.
- In a large serving bowl combine, cooked potatoes, hard boiled chopped eggs, chopped bacon, and green onion.
- Season with salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Add the dressing and mix again until well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve.
Garnish with cheddar cheese, more bacon, scallions, and chives, if desired. - Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container or ziplock bag. We do not recommend freezing potato salad since it contains eggs, light mayo, and Greek and these ingredients are temperature sensitive ingredients.
