Potato Salad season is here and I know most of you have a family recipe that you always make and it’s probably really good. But believe me, you will want to try this Creamy Horseradish Potato Salad. The horseradish really adds a surprising depth of flavor that will have everyone raving.  And the uber-creamy Greek Yogurt dressing makes it taste soooo decadent. 

Ingredients For this Potato Salad

ingredients for the salad with horseradish and potatoes
  • 2 ½ pounds thin-skinned small potatoes, quartered or halved into about 1-inch chunks (about 8 cups)
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • ¾ cup plain non-fat Greek-style yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup grated white onion
  • 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2 eggs, hard boiled, peeled and chopped 

How To Make This Recipe

Cook The Potatoes

One of the nice things about this potato salad is that you don’t have to worry about peeling the potatoes. They stay on the potatoes and add a great texture to the dish.

  • Cut them in half or quarters, depending on their size. You just want nice bite size chunks.
  • Then steam them in a saucepan with a steamer basket until they are tender. 

The Greek Yogurt Dressing

I wanted it to be really creamy so I used thick and velvety non-fat Greek yogurt for the base of the dressing. To that I added only ¼ cup of full-fat mayonnaise, which gives it richness without too much added fat per serving. 

I also added grated onion and the horseradish for a big burst of flavor that melds right into the creamy Greek yogurt dressing!

Hard-Boiled Eggs and Parsley

I added in hard boiled eggs, which is pretty traditional, but I don’t do it very often. The bits of yolk mix with the dressing and potatoes to add even more creaminess and also nice bright color.  And the chunks of the whites add a really nice and interesting texture. 

Then the fresh parsley gets folded in for a burst of color and texture that makes the whole dish extra special.
