Instructions:
1. Cook the Potatoes:
Place diced potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain and let them cool for a few minutes.
2. Mix the Dressing:
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and lemon juice until smooth.
3. Add Fresh Ingredients:
Stir in the green onions and cucumber for that crisp, fresh bite.
4. Combine & Season:
Gently fold the warm potatoes into the dressing mixture. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Garnish & Serve:
Top with chopped fresh herbs if desired. Serve slightly warm, chilled, or at room temperature—it’s delicious either way!

Quick Tips:
For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or a splash of pickle juice.
Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients if using thin-skinned potatoes.
Make it ahead—the flavors get even better after a short chill in the fridge.
