This potato salad is a creamy low-fat delight. Omit the eggs if you need to watch your cholesterol, or cut one or both of the yolks if you must. But in terms of fat, the eggs contribute very little.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds white potatoes, skin on, cubed
  • 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup green onions

Preparation:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook potatoes until tender. Drain and allow to cool. Add chopped eggs to potatoes. Mix sour cream, mayonnaise and green onions together. Spoon on to potato and eggs and combine well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
