Ingredients

  • 16 to 20 new, waxy potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup diced celery, or cut into thin half-moons
  • 1 handful of fresh celery leaves, chopped roughly
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup creole mustard (I like Zatarain's; use grain mustard if you can't find it)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 6 to 8 dashes of tabasco, or your favorite hot sauce
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Scrub potatoes, leave skin on. Cut in half and toss with olive oil, light salt and black pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut side down. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes. Flip. Roast for another 10 to 15 until tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Drain onions and pat dry. Peel strings off celery stalk with a vegetable peeler before chopping. Combine onion and celery with yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, paprika, and hot sauce.
  • Taste the dressing with a celery leaf, and adjust for seasoning. The mustard and tabasco can make the sauce a little salty, so try first and adjust to your liking.
  • As soon as you can handle the potatoes (but while they are still hot), cut into bite-sized pieces and mix well with dressing. Add celery leaves.
  • Eat warm or cold. Enjoy!
