Curried Potato Salad

Ingredients

2½ pounds yellow or red potatoes, scrubbed and diced ( ½- to 1-inch)

¾ teaspoon salt, divided

½ cup mayonnaise

½ cup low-fat plain yogurt

¼ cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2-3 teaspoons curry powder

½ teaspoon ground pepper

1 medium red bell pepper, chopped

¾ cup frozen peas, thawed

Preparation

Bring 1 to 2 inches of water to a boil in a large saucepan (or pot) fitted with a steamer basket. Add potatoes, cover and cook until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt; let cool 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, yogurt, onion, mustard, curry powder to taste, pepper and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the potatoes, bell pepper and peas; stir well to coat. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until cold.
