Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes (preferably mixed colors)

1 cup Greek yogurt

1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional for creaminess)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup diced cucumber

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Optional: sliced black olives for garnish

Instructions
 

Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender but still firm. Drain and let cool slightly.

    While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

      Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half or quarters depending on their size and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

        Add the chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and fresh dill to the potatoes. Gently fold in the yogurt dressing until all ingredients are well coated.

          Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top and gently mix again.

            Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For added flavor, you can sprinkle extra smoked paprika or fresh dill on top.

              If desired, garnish with sliced black olives before serving.

                Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
