ingredients

2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
water
1 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste, divided
3/4 cup fat free plain yogurt
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup finely chopped whole green onions
3 tablespoons finely chopped flat leaf parsley
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon

directions

1
Place the potatoes in a large pot. Add enough cold water to exceed the top of the potatoes by 2 inches. Place the pot over high heat and add one teaspoon of the salt. Bring the water to a boil and cook them uncovered until they are just tender through, approximately 20-25 minutes.
2
Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to cool. Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the yogurt and mustard. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the onions, parsley, tarragon and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir them until combined.
3
Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and pour the dressing over them. Mix them well with a wooden spoon, breaking some of the potatoes, so that some of them are a bit mashed and the ingredients are well combined. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to 1 day.
