This refreshing “New Generation” potato salad swaps heavy mayonnaise for a tangy blend of plain low-fat yogurt and rich crumbled blue cheese. The result is a dish that feels lighter yet delivers a robust, savory punch. Waxy red-skinned potatoes hold their shape perfectly, providing a satisfying bite, while thinly sliced green onions add a fresh, sharp crunch. The subtle heat from garlic salt and fresh ground black pepper balances the creaminess of the dressing. It’s an ideal side dish for summer barbecues, picnic lunches, or a quick weekday dinner. The flavors meld beautifully after chilling, making it even better the next day.

Directions
-
Peel potatoes if desired, then cut into one-half-inch cubes.
-
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic salt to the water.
-
Bring water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Drain potatoes thoroughly and spread them out on a baking sheet or large plate to cool to room temperature.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, sliced green onions, remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the plain low-fat yogurt, buttermilk, and crumbled blue cheese until smooth and creamy.
-
Pour the yogurt dressing over the potato mixture. Gently fold until all potatoes are evenly coated.
-
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld before serving.
