53% fewer calories • 74% less fat • 75% less sat fat than the original recipe—see the comparison. Feel good about passing this slimmed salad at picnics and potlucks!
Prep Time:30 min
Start to Finish:1 hr 30 min
makes:8 servings (3/4 cup each)

Salad
6    medium red potatoes (2 lb), unpeeled
2    hard-cooked eggs, chopped
2    medium stalks celery, thinly sliced (1 cup)
1    medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
Dressing
3/4    cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/2    cup fat-free sour cream
1    tablespoon yellow mustard
1    teaspoon cider vinegar
1/2    teaspoon salt
1/4    teaspoon pepper
1.    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.
2.    In large bowl, place potatoes, eggs, celery and onion; toss gently to mix. In small bowl, mix dressing ingredients until well blended.
3.    Add dressing to potato mixture; toss gently to coat. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour or until serving time.

Sounds really good.  Most healthy foods are not tasty, but I believe this one will be.

Thanks for the recipe.  I enjoy having potato salad every once in a while

Ditto what Lee said.  This sounds like it would be wonderful, AND low fat.  Excellent.

Are you using the vinegar instead of pickles.?

I usually use low fat miracle whip in potato salad, never thought to add sour cream too.  yum
