Parmentier (French-Style) Potato Salad image

In France, a man called Parmentier is credited with popularising potatoes. This is why any dish with his name in is likely to contain potatoes. This is another recipe which I have adapted from a 'Pan or Wok' recipe card from International Masters Publishers.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe (used Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard instead of yellow mustard) and it still turned out delicious.
