Directions

In a medium stockpot, cover the potatoes with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and run under cold water.
While the potatoes are boiling, in a large bowl whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, minced shallots, pickles or capers, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Halve the potatoes and pull off the skin, it should slip off easily, then halve again into quarters. Repeat and add to the dressing. Mix well, smashing a few of the potatoes against the side of the bowl. Taste for seasoning. Cover and keep in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Chef Tips

If you prefer pickles, we do recommend mincing a couple of whole pickles yourself and not using bottled relish – you don’t want the hidden added sugar.
