Potato salad

This is the perfect condiment to a BBQ! I love a potato salad, well mainly because you can prepare it in advance, but also because it's just delicious! You can make your potato salad healthier and less fatty by using a lower fat mayonnaise instead, but the better the mayo the better the salad! It makes a big difference to the taste. You can also use more greek yogurt and less mayo if you wish. Some makes of yogurt are more set than others so the salad doesn't get too runny. 

8 potatoes
4 spring onions 
1 cup real mayonnaise (250 ml)
1 cup greek yogurt (250 ml)
½ tbsp apple cyder vinegar
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp white pepper

Boil potatoes soft but not mushy. Let cool. Cut potatoes into chunks and chop the spring onion. Put together in a bowl. Mix mayo, greek yogurt, vinegar, salt and pepper in a separate bowl and pour over the potatoes. Give it a good mix and voilá! I think the onion flavour comes through more if it stands for a little while, so if you have time, make it a little before. 

If you use less mayo and more yogurt, I would maybe up the vinegar a tiny bit for taste.
