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.
