I work in a building that houses a Commodity Foods program; at the end of the week they bag up the left-over produce and give it out to the families in the program I work in and if there are left-over bags beyond that the staff get to take some home. Last week it was a bag of small yellow onions and this week was a bag of small yellow potatoes. I was trying to figure out what to do with them all and decided potato salad would be the way to go! I searched for a WW friendly recipe and this is what I found on the WW website:

Ingredients
2 pound(s) uncooked Yukon Gold potato(es), peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks | |
2 large egg(s), hard-boiled | |
2 tsp apple cider vinegar | |
1/2 cup(s) plain fat-free yogurt, Greek-style recommended | |
1/4 cup(s) fat-free mayonnaise | |
3 Tbsp sweet pickle relish | |
1 1/2 tsp SPLENDA® SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener | |
1/2 tsp table salt | |
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground | |
1/2 cup(s) celery, diced | |
1/3 cup(s) red onion(s), chopped |
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with 2 inches of water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are fork-tender, about 7 to 9 minutes; drain and cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using a fork, mash yolk from 1 egg with vinegar until smooth. Add yogurt, mayonnaise, relish, Splenda, salt and pepper; stir until blended.
- Add potatoes, celery and onion to bowl; toss to mix and coat. Chop remaining egg white and egg; gently fold into potato salad. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
Notes
- We replaced a large amount of regular mayonnaise with some fat-free mayonnaise and creamy non-fat Greek-style yogurt.
Garnish with chopped dill, red onion and/or chives. For a change of pace, substitute 1-inch red potato chunks for the Yukon Gold potatoes.
