In this healthy and creamy potato salad recipe, yogurt replaces half of the mayo and we keep the potato skins on for more fiber and potassium. To hard-boil the eggs while your potatoes are steaming, place them directly on top of the potatoes in the steamer basket. They'll be perfectly hard-boiled when the potatoes are tender.

This is amazing!!! I have missed potato salad so much since I started trying to eat better, but it is back on the menu now thanks to this recipe! I made it as instructed and it turned out perfectly, and no one in my family knew that it was a "healthy" recipe.

This turned out delicious. Instead of steaming the cubed potatoes, I bring two pots of water to a boil with a little salt and cook them in one pot for a few minutes to get them clean. When that water gets cloudy, I drain it and then add the fresh boiling water--this also takes out some of the sharpness that's in the potato skins. Red onions look nice, and I added an extra 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. Apart from these variations, this is a good classic recipe.
