WARM POTATO SALAD, LOW FAT



Warm Potato Salad, Low Fat image

Dietitian's tip: A mixture of smooth and whole-grain mustards forms the base for vinaigrette much lighter than traditional mayonnaise dressings. This salad is most flavorful when served warm or at room temperature. Makes 6 "healthy" (read: really small) servings.

HEALTHIER POTATO SALAD



Healthier potato salad image

Swap most of the mayo for yogurt and crème frâiche and cut the fat of classic new potato salad by almost two thirds

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Buffet, Lunch, Side dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

750g Charlotte new potato , skins left on
2 tbsp good-quality mayonnaise (we used Hellmann's)
3 tbsp natural yogurt
3 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp semi-skimmed milk
8 spring onions , ends trimmed, halved lengthways and sliced
3 tbsp snipped chive
1 tbsp chopped tarragon

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.

LOW-FAT POTATO SALAD



Low-Fat Potato Salad image

This is a deliciously creamy yet low-fat potato salad. The french dressing plus the mayo and yogurt adds some tang and colour to the salad. I have never felt the need to add any salt to this recipe. Plan ahead, this salad needs 2x4 hours chill time. NOTE: If you choose to use the whole eggs instead of egg whites the fat content of this salad will increase. It is also nice to use the 3 or 4 egg whites and then use one sliced whole egg as a decorative topping.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russets, and are less likely to fall apart when boiled.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. To check if the potatoes are done, insert a paring knife into the center of a potato. If the knife slides in easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before slicing: This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and texture to the salad. Some good choices include celery, carrots, onions, radishes, and cucumbers.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld. You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the salad warm or at room temperature: This is a versatile salad that can be served as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Warm potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and flavorful dressing, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this warm potato salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
