Red and sweet potatoes team up in this creamy salad with a splash of balsamic vinegar. It also features red onion, garlic, lots of freshly parsley, and a hearty, savory combination of fat-free mayonnaise and yogurt. You'll also love the fact that the longer this potato salad sits in the fridge, the longer the ingredients have a chance to meld, and the better it tastes. Be sure that you look for tiny new potatoes, sometimes labeled “baby potatoes,” in the supermarket as you're shopping for this recipe. If you find them, you may need only to cut them in half—or you can even leave them whole.

Ingredients

Uncooked red potato

1½ pound(s), small, scrubbed and quartered

Uncooked sweet potato

1¼ pound(s), peeled and cut into chunks

Balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp

Olive oil

Fat free mayonnaise

3 Tbsp

Plain fat free yogurt

3 Tbsp

Table salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the red potatoes and sweet potatoes in a large pot; add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until tender, 15–20 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  2. Combine the vinegar, oil, and garlic in a large bowl. Add the onion and potatoes; toss gently to coat.
  3. Combine the parsley, mayonnaise, yogurt, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over the potatoes and toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, until the flavors are blended, at least 3 hours. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.
