My mom and grandma's macaroni and potato salads are family favorites and we have them a lot for summer get togethers. This is a combination of both recipes made into one and submitted for the Craze-E Contest.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb shell pasta
4 new potatoes, if small use 6
4 hard-boiled eggs
15 ounces peas
1/4 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 large sweet onion, diced
2 carrots, chopped finely
2 stalks celery, chopped finely
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Wash and peel the new potatoes than cut into cubes. Add potatoes and eggs to a dutch oven or large pot and over medium high heat cook until potatoes are just fork tender, approximately 20 minutes. (Do not let the potatoes get over cooked because they will turn to mush when making the salad.) Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Drain pasta well and place in a large mixing bowl. When potatoes and eggs are ready drain well and set eggs in a bowl of ice water to cool. Add potatoes to mixing bowl with pasta and add remaining ingredients. Peel and chop eggs, add to bowl. Gently fold everything together, taste, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place in refrigerator until chilled or overnight for best flavor. More mayonnaise and yogurt can be added if creamier texture is desired.
