Ingredients
-
4 large russet potatoes
-
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
3/4 cup chopped green onions
-
1 cup celery, diced
-
2 hard boiled eggs, chop the whites only (feed the yolk to the dog)
-
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
-
2/3 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
-
1/2 cup chopped New Mexican green chile
-
3/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
-
1/4 cup plain yogurt
-
1 tablespoon horseradish
-
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the potatoes in a large Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, and then turn the heat down so the water is at a gentle boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not overcook, or you will have mashed potato salad! Drain the potatoes and peel quickly--they still need to be hot. Pierce the potato with a fork and peel quickly. On a cutting board, slice the potato lengthwise and then slice into 1/4 inch thick slices and put them into a large bowl. Sprinkle the slices with the vinegar.
Add the garlic, green onion, celery, chopped whites of the hard-boiled eggs, parsley, cucumber, and chile to the potatoes and toss gently.
In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, yogurt, horseradish, mustard, salt, and black pepper together. Pour this mixture over the potato-vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat. Serve slightly chilled.

Here are a few recommendations to make this salad as tasty as possible: first, buy good white wine vinegar; second, make sure you use Italian parsley for its spark, and, if you can't find it, grow it or substitute watercress with its peppery overtones; and third, be prepared to run out of salad--it really is that good.
