Serves: 10

Ingredients:
21/4 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
salt
3/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup finely chopped whole green onions
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
black pepper

Directions:
Cook the potatoes in a pot of boiling salted water until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool to room temperature.

Meanwhile, whisk the yogurt and mustard in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the onions, parsley, and dill and stir until com­bined.

Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and pour the yogurt mixture over them. Mix well with a wooden spoon, breaking some of the potatoes, so that they become a bit mashed and the ingredients are well combined. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate for 1 hour to 1 day.
