I love potato salad, a little bit of mustard in it, with chopped celery, red pepper, relish, the whole bit.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

But I find myself feeling guilty about the enormous fat content and amount of mayo, so I end up eating my favorite part of potato salad–the potato–and avoiding the creamy sauce it sits in! Well, I thought it was time to hold back on the mayo (and picnic tummyaches from potato salad left out of the fridge too long) <\/b>and make the potato the star of the show, once again.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/a>4-Ingredient Potato Salad<\/span><\/b>
*6\u00a0 1\/2-cup servings <\/span><\/span><\/b>
5 medium-sized red potatoes (2 pounds)<\/span><\/span><\/b>
4 TB yellow mustard<\/span><\/span><\/b>
2 TB honey<\/span><\/span><\/b>
1 t. dried parsley<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

ONE: Dice (don’t peel) potatoes into small pieces. Boil in a large pot of water until soft, but not falling apart.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/a>TWO: Drain potatoes in a colander and run over cool water for a few minutes. Let sit out for 1 hour or refrigerate for 30 minutes, until cool.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/b>
THREE: In a large bowl, whisk mustard, honey and parsley together. Using a small spoon, carefully coat potatoes with sauce. Serve immediately (room temp salad) or refrigerate for at least an hour to chill.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
