Low Fat Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in boiling water until tender, about 15-20 minutes; drain thoroughly. Place in a bowl; cool slightly. Pour salad dressing over warm potatoes; toss to coat. Add celery, green pepper, onion, radishes, parsley, salt if desired and pepper; mix well. Combine the mayonnaise, mustard and sugar; pour over potato mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Peel warm potatoes; cut into cubes.
• Place the cubed potatoes into a large bowl; Pour French dressing over them and toss; Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• After the 4 hours, add celery pickle, pepper, onion, and radishes to the potatoes; toss.
• In a small bowl mix together mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, salt (if desired), and pepper.
• Pour dressing over salad; toss; stir in egg whites.
• Cover salad and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, if desired, sprinkle with paprika.

Steps:

• Wash, dry, and stab potatoes. Place on a microwave safe plate and nuke for 6 min 40 sec. (If you double the recipe, increase the time to 11 min 20 sec.).
• Meanwhile, stir the yogurt and mayo together in your serving bowl, add the mustards and set aside.
• Dice the pickle, add it and the olives to the dressing mix.
• When the potatoes are done, slit each into quarters, and rinse in a strainer under cold water until cool enough to handle. Chop them into bite sized pieces, and rinse again until they are cooled completely.
• Toss the potatoes in the dressing and -tada- you have fresh potato salad in under 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Peel a 2-inch-long strip of zest from the lemon; tie into a bundle with the parsley and thyme sprigs and bay leaf using kitchen twine. Put in a saucepan with the garlic, potatoes, 2 tablespoons salt and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook about 10 minutes. Add the carrots and cook until the potatoes are tender and the carrots are crisp-tender, about 5 more minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the vegetables and discard the herb bundle. Let cool. Meanwhile, finely grate 2 teaspoons lemon zest and squeeze 3 tablespoons juice into a large bowl. Whisk in the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, scallion whites, chopped parsley, reserved cooking water, 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery and cucumber to the dressing and toss. Chill about 4 hours. Top with the scallion greens.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes if needed & cut into 1" dice. Boil until just tender - not TOO soft! Drain the potatoes in a colander and set on one side too cool.
• Meanwhile, mix together the low fat mayonnaise, low fat creme fraiche OR low fat sour cream & Maggi seasoning. Add the black pepper to taste.
• Add the mayonnaise mixture to the potatoes and mix well but try not to break the potatoes up. Add the cornichons, ham & spring onions to the potato salad - mix through gently.
• Taste and add more Maggi seasoning or black pepper if required.
• Put into an attractive bowl and sprinkle more spring onions on as a garnish or parsley. I also like to sprinkle on smoked paprika as a garnish topping too.
• Optional:.
• Instead of the ham, use crisply fried bacon. Great with egg - egg & bacon potato salad! Instead of the spring onions, use diced red onions.
• I have also added diced left over chicken & chopped apple to this mixture.
• I have given the option of using more or less mayonnaise mixture for personal taste; some people like it very creamy & others like it not so creamy!
• Maggi seasoning is quite salty, so use 1 tablespoon to start with, adding more if needed - teaspoon by teaspoon!

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, celery, and onion in a pretty bowl.
• Mix the remaining ingredients.
• Stir in gently.
• Chill for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 2.5-3cm chunks (step 1), so that they are all the same size and will cook evenly. Put them in a pan of boiling water. Once the water has returned to the boil, lower the heat slightly and cook for about 10 mins or until just cooked and still keeping their shape. Tip them into a colander to drain well, then transfer to a large bowl.
• While the potatoes are cooking, mix together the mayonnaise, yogurt, crème fraîche, mustard and milk. Add the spring onions, then most of the chives and tarragon to the potatoes (step 2). Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.
• Spoon the dressing over the potatoes while they are still warm (step 3), then toss gently together so that they are well coated but don't break up. Tip the potato salad into a serving bowl and scatter over the remaining chives and tarragon. Serve cold - but the flavour is best if not served straight from the fridge.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a saucepan, add water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Drain and let stand until just cool enough to handle.
• Cut each potato in half (or quarters, if the potatoes are large) and place in a warmed serving dish.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mustards, the vinegars and the shallot until well blended.
• While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to make a thick dressing.
• Stir in the parsley, salt and pepper.
• Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes, mix gently and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, cool, peel, and chop.
• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel. Discard yolks and chop whites.
• Combine potatoes, egg whites, celery, onion, relish, mayonnaise, mustard, celery seed, garlic, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix together well and refrigerate until chilled.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in 4-quart saucepan; add enough water just to cover potatoes. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20 to 30 minutes or until tender. Drain; let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes into cubes.
• In large bowl, place potatoes, eggs, celery and onion; toss gently to mix. In small bowl, mix dressing ingredients until well blended.
• Add dressing to potato mixture; toss gently to coat. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour or until serving time.
