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.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes: These varieties hold their shape well and have a creamy texture when cooked.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise: You don't want the potato salad to be too heavy.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Dill, chives, or parsley will brighten up the flavor of the potato salad.
  • Serve the potato salad chilled: This will help the flavors to come together.

Conclusion:

This healthier creamy potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with simple ingredients like potatoes, mayonnaise, celery, and onion, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like your potato salad classic or with a little bit of a twist, this recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
