Classic Potato Salad

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

In this healthy and creamy potato salad recipe, yogurt replaces half of the mayo and we keep the potato skins on for more fiber and potassium. To hard-boil the eggs while your potatoes are steaming, place them directly on top of the potatoes in the steamer basket. They'll be perfectly hard-boiled when the potatoes are tender.Ā Source: EatingWell Magazine, July/August 2015

Instant-Pot Potato Salad

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This Instant-Pot potato salad is one-pot cooking at its best. The potatoes and eggs cook together in the multicooker. Mustard and apple-cider vinegar lighten the potatoes nicely and add a great punch of acidity while the vegetables stay crisp and bright. Be sure to dress the potatoes when they're hot to help them best absorb the flavor of the dressing.Ā Source: EatingWell.com, April 2020

Pea & New Potato Salad (Nye kartofler og rte Salat)

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Very fresh produce is the key to this easy side dish: walnut-size new potatoes, fresh peas, scallions and sweet, early-summer radishes. Danes insist on the freshest, newest potatoes possible (those from Bjäre peninsula of Skåne, in southern Sweden, are coveted with cultlike devotion). Look for them in farmers' markets in spring and early summer.Ā Source: EatingWell Magazine, May/June 2008
