Ingredients
- 3 pounds baby gold and/or baby white potatoes quartered
- 3 celery stalks chopped
- 3 green onions diced
- ½ small red onion diced
- 6 hardboiled eggs roughly chopped
- 2 avocados chopped
- 4 slices of bacon cooked and chopped
Dressing
- 1 cup mayo I use light mayo
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt I use 0 percent fat
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika optional but highly recommended
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Cover pot and boil potatoes for 5-8 minutes until fork-tender (but not overcooked). Strain liquid and run potatoes under cold water in a colander. Set aside to dry slightly. Once liquid has drained, place potatoes in a large bowl.
- Add celery, green onions, red onions, eggs, avocados (see note), and bacon to the bowl.
- Whisk together mayo, Greek yogurt, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and paprika. Pour over potatoes etc and stir gently to combine everything.
- Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours before serving.

Notes
- If you are making this potato salad ahead of time and plan on not serving after 1 hour of chilling time, I recommend reserving the avocados until the end, just before serving, to keep them from browning.
