If you’re in the mood for tzatziki but want something heartier, or if you’re looking for a way to spice up the usual potato salad, this is your thing. Adapted from Smitten Kitchen.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds potatoes (yukon golds or red are best)
- 1 14 oz container greek yogurt
- 2 T fresh lemon juice
- 1 T white wine or cider vinegar
- 1 T minced fresh dill (or parsley)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (add more if you want it really garlicky)
- 2 t salt
- 1 large english cucumber, seeded and grated
- optional: large handful of chopped beets and 2T chopped green onions
Instructions
- In a medium pot, cover potatoes in water, bring to a boil, and reduce heat and simmer until tomatoes are tender but not soft, about 30 minutes (it’s best to check them at about 20 minutes in.)
- Drain potatoes and let cool completely, or if in a hurry, stick them in the freezer for ten minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, garlic, and beets/green onions if using.
- Once potatoes are cool, cut them into medium sized chunks (for small potatoes, cut them into halves or quarters), and add to yogurt mixture.
- Season to taste, chill for a few minutes in the fridge, and serve garnished with dill or parsley sprigs.
