Now take a bowl and mix mayonnaise, yogurt and all the spices. Beat well with a fork so that it gets mixed up. Now add this mayonnaise mixture to the potatoes. Now add rest of the ingredients including cucumber, onion and egg. Mix them all carefully with a spoon so that the potatoes dont break up. Now garnish with parsley and serve.

Note: For added taste, you can also add boiled, shredded chicken to the salad.
