When I think back to the holiday tables of my childhood—Easter mornings filled with laughter, Thanksgiving afternoons that lingered into the evening, and Christmas dinners where the kitchen smelled like warmth itself—one dish always sat proudly among the turkey, ham, and green beans: potato salad. It was the kind of recipe that seemed to connect every generation, always familiar, always comforting.

This version is one that’s especially close to my heart. It keeps that creamy, hearty texture we all love but lightens things up in the most delicious way. Instead of using only mayonnaise, I blend it with plain low-fat yogurt, which gives a lovely tang and makes every bite feel fresh. The result is a healthy potato salad with yogurt and mayo that fits beautifully on both festive tables and weekday dinners alike.

I can still picture my mother gently folding in the warm cubes of potato, her favorite mixing bowl resting on the counter beside her coffee pot. These days, I still make it in that same spirit—simple, wholesome, and perfect for sharing. Whether it’s Easter brunch with friends, a Thanksgiving side dish, or part of a cozy Christmas spread, this light holiday potato salad recipe brings joy to every plate.
