Sweet potatoes are more nutritious.

In a pot, cover 3 lbs of golden potatoes with cold water and add 2 tablespoons of salt.

Bring the pot to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Chop 1 cup of red onion, 2 tablespoons of celery, and 2 tablespoons of flat leaf parsley, and place them in a large bowl.

Drain the cooked potatoes, peel them, and cut them into small cubes.

While the potatoes are still warm, add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the bowl with the vegetables.

Gently stir the mixture to avoid breaking the potatoes and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of mustard, and 1/4 cup of whole milk yogurt to create the dressing.

Add the dressing to the potato and vegetable mixture and stir gently to coat the potatoes.

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as desired.

Chill the potato salad for a few hours or overnight before serving.
