Description

Do not be fooled by the “healthy” part of this recipe’s title. Our secretary at work has brought this potato salad to office brunches twice and I fell in love with it instantly. It’s creamy and tasty and all the ingredients just happen to be more or less good for you.

Ingredients

  • 9 whole Potatoes
  • 1-½ cup Sour Cream
  • 1 Tablespoon Chives
  • 1 Tablespoon Spring Onions, Chopped
  • ½ Tablespoons Onion, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic, Finely Chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Dill Pickles, Diced
  • ⅓ Tablespoons Paprika Powder
  • ½ Tablespoons Cayenne Pepper (or More)
  • Nutmeg, To Taste
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 1 dash Milk Or Vinegar (optional)
  • 2 whole Eggs, Boiled And Diced (optional)
  • 2 Tablespoons Peas (optional)

Preparation

Boil the potatoes in salted water, peeled or not, whichever way you prefer, until cooked but not mushy. Let cool slightly and chop them up into medium sized pieces.

Meanwhile, mix sour cream, chives, onions, garlic, pickles, and seasonings until dressing is creamy. You might have to add a little milk or vinegar, depending on the sour cream you’re using.

Toss warm potatoes and dressing, carefully fold in peas and chopped eggs if you’re using them, and let cool completely at room temperature so the flavors can steep through the whole thing.

It keeps in the fridge for at least two days and gets better every time you get it out to have another spoonful.

So I made your yummy potato salad yesterday, but altered it slightly…I didn’t add nutmeg and put a little extra pickle (since I’m such a pickle lover). I used red and white potatoes…oh and I omitted the garlic. I did not add the optional egg or peas but the dash of milk did help. Overall I thought it was delish, especially for my first time making potato salad
