½ cup (125 ml) mayonnaise, preferably reduced fat
½ cup (125 ml) plain low-fat yoghurt

½ red or green pepper, seeds removed and chopped
½ onion, finely chopped (see tip)
1 hard-boiled egg, peeled and chopped (optional)



Place potatoes and ½ tsp of the salt in a pot with water. Bring to the boil and cook until tender. Allow to cool, peel and cut in cubes.

Mix sauce into potatoes with red pepper and onion.
Sprinkle with egg and serve as a side dish.
