DIRECTIONS
1) While onions are reducing, place potatoes into a large pot of salted water – water should taste salty like the sea. Cook until just tender, between 10-20 minutes depending on the size of your potato pieces. Strain and set aside to cool at room temperature.
2) In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, mustard, kraut liquid, and parsley. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set it aside.
Once both the potatoes and candied onions have had a chance to cool, add potatoes, onions, and drained kraut to the large bowl with dressing. Combine gently and season to taste. Place in the refrigerator for at least one hour or overnight. Enjoy!
