Method

  1. To make the potato salad, start by peeling the potatoes and then cutting them into small pieces. Using a steamer basket, steam the potatoes for about 20 minutes. In a bowl, combine the mustard, yogurt, mayonnaise, and the chopped chives and parsley, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Once you have mixed everything well into a smooth cream, transfer the potatoes from the pot to a large bowl and cover them with the sauce. Mix well and let the potatoes rest in the refrigerator for at least half an hour before serving. When the resting time is up, serve the potato salad.

Variations and Alternatives

To make your potato salad even tastier, you can add a very finely chopped scallion, diced carrots or peas.

Tips

If you do not have a steamer basket or a steamer pot, you can also use boiled potatoes, but be careful that they are not too soft. For an even tastier potato salad, I recommend using Homemade Mayonnaise.

Storage

You can keep leftover potato salad in the refrigerator for one day in an airtight container.
