Is there a food you enjoy, but it feels like you can never quite what you’re craving when you order it out at a restaurant?

I’m that way with potato salad.

I love potato salad, but only if it’s made a certain way — it has to have a creaminess to it, but not be overly creamy.  It has to have a slight vinegar kick to balance out the creaminess, but not have too much vinegar.  And it has to have a lil’ bit of mustard.

Hello, I’m picky, apparently.

So, I order it all the time when we’re out.  But, more often than not, it’s dissapointing, leaving me to make it on my own to get what I’m looking for.  Lucky for me, I have this handy roasted potato salad recipe right here.

Maybe this says something more about me than it does about potato salad, but I digress.

Either way, just curious if this happens to you as well.

Is Potato Salad Healthy?

You might be wondering if potato salad is healthy.  If so, the answer is yes and no.  No, it’s not usually that healthy when it’s made with gobs of mayo.  But, you can easily make potato salad healthy by replacing the mayonnaise with plain greek yogurt because this increases the protein and nutrients overall and reduces a lot of unhealthier fat.

A lot of people tend to steer clear from potatoes, thinking they aren’t healthy, but it’s actually not necessary.  While potatoes definitely have more starch than other vegetables and should be eaten in moderation, they are a great source of fiber (assuming you leave that skin on!).  One potato with skin contains 4 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, and is just 160 calories, despite being very filling.   Potatoes also happen to be a great source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, iron, and potassium.

Potato Salad with Vinegar

You can also add tons of flavor to a potato salad by using vinegar, which will give it a nice strong kick and cut through a lot of the heavier flavors and textures. Depending on your taste preferences, you can use red wine vinegar (which is what I use in this roasted potato salad recipe), apple cider vinegar (for a bit sweeter flavor), or plain ol vinegar for a stronger kick.  They all work, just taste slightly different.

In general, you can follow this rule: If you like more of a kick and less of the creaminess, add more vinegar and less of the greek yogurt (and vice versa).

So, if you’re looking for a great new healthy potato salad to try, this one has no mayo, no eggs, and uses plain greek yogurt and red wine vinegar for flavor.

It’s quite delicious is you ask me and a great way to change up your normal potato salad recipe.  I know everyone (and their mother) says they make the best potato salad, but if you’re looking for a healthy potato salad that will not only fill you up, but will also taste fresh and make your body happy, look no further.
