- Meanwhile, hard boil the eggs. After they cool cut them in half.
- Prepare the potato salad dressing by mixing together cream cheese, greek yogurt, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and mustard. Chop the chives.
- Mix the potatoes with the desired amount of dressing and chill in the fridge until you're ready to serve. Top with halved eggs and sprinkle with chopped chives and additional cayenne pepper if desired.
