Let’s Get Cooking!

  1. Start by washing and peeling your potatoes. Once done, cut them into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil.
  3. Once boiling, carefully add the potato chunks. Let them cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they’re tender yet firm.
  4. While the potatoes are boiling, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. This will be your Low Carb Potato Salad dressing.
  5. Once your potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
  6. Add the cooled potato chunks to the dressing mixture in the large bowl.
  7. Now, toss in the finely chopped celery, diced red onion, chopped fresh parsley, dill, and boiled, chopped eggs.
  8. Gently mix everything until the potatoes are well-coated with the dressing and all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  9. Check for seasoning. If needed, add some more salt or pepper.
  10. Once satisfied, cover the Low Carb Potato Salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Pro Tips

  1. Always choose a low-starch potato variety. These have fewer carbs and maintain a firmer texture when boiled.
  2. If you’re planning to serve the salad later, refrigerate the potatoes and the dressing separately, mixing them only before serving.
  3. For added crunch and nutrition, consider adding some chopped bell peppers or cucumber.
  4. While the classic Low Carb Potato Salad has its charm, don’t hesitate to experiment with spices or herbs that suit your palate.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Plate your Low Carb Potato Salad on a bed of fresh greens for added nutrition.
  • A slice of whole-grain toast on the side can complement the creamy texture of the salad.
