Preparation
Place potatoes in a pot and just cover with water. Partially cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer partially covered just until potatoes are tender, about 5 min. Don’t overcook. Drain well.
Meanwhile in a large bowl, stir yogurt with mayonnaise, horseradish, salt and pepper. Stir in radishes, celery, green onions, parsley and dill until mixed. Add warm potatoes and stir to combine. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Taste and add more salt or horseradish to taste.
Tips
No fresh dill? Stir ½ tsp (2 mL) dried dill weed into mayo mixture.
Still have a few radishes left over? Try roasting just until tender.
Omit horseradish and add lemon juice to taste.
