Yogurt and Sour Cream Potato Salad

Submitted by Gwanny Hill

"I developed this recipe when a good friend with a history of severe heart problems needed something with less fat than traditional recipes. He loves this salad and requests it frequently. I'm sure that there are similar recipes but I couldn't find one on Zaar exactly like this."

Praise for a (for potato salad) low fat version of a classic summer "must have". I used the fat free plain yogurt and low fat sour cream and a mayo made with olive oil. Thyme was used in place the dill. some might think it sparse in "add in's" but I really think it's excellent as written. I'll be having potato salad again this summer.
