Helpful Tips About this Recipe
Makes 4 cups (8-½ cup servings)
Healthy Benefits
No need to keep potatoes out of your diet because they’re rich in complex carbohydrates that can supply energy. They’re low in calories and contain no fat. They contain more potassium than any other fresh vegetable, even more than bananas! Potatoes also contain vitamins C and B6.
Shopping Tips
Dutch baby gold potatoes are sold in bags in the produce section of many supermarkets. If you can’t find them use small red potatoes. You’ll find Cardini’s Light Caesar Dressing or Girard’s Light Caesar dressing at most supermarkets. I found both at Vons/Safeway and Gelsons. They both are super delicious tasting.
Prep Tips
It’s essential that you use a rubber spatula to mix any potato salad. If you use a metal spoon, it will break the potatoes and become more like mashed potatoes. WW Freestyle SmartPoints 3-Blue
