  • Light Kraft mayo
  • Non fat plain or Greek yogurt 
  • Apple cider vinegar or white vinegar

Optional Garnish:

How do I make this Skinny Loaded Potato Salad?

Wash and dice potatoes into bite size pieces. 

Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water and cook until potatoes are tender. 

Note: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes. 

Drain water and rinse the potatoes under cold water. This will stop them from cooking.

Meanwhile, in a medium size mixing bowl combine, Light mayo, non fat yogurt, apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, Dijon mustard, unsweetened almond or skim milk, salt and pepper in a bowl.

Whisk until well combined. Add additional milk to thin, if necessary.

In a large serving bowl combine, cooked potatoes, hard boiled chopped eggs, chopped bacon, and green onion. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined. 

Add the dressing and mix again until well combined.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve.

Garnish with cheddar cheese, more bacon, scallions, and chives, if desired. 

Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs. red potatoes, diced
  • 4 hard boiled eggs, chopped
  • 5 slices center cut bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 4 green onions, thinly chopped
  • ½ cup light Kraft mayo
  • ½ cup non fat plain or Greek yogurt 
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar 
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1-2 Tbsp unsweetened almond or skim milk (to thin out the dressing)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnish:

  • Reduced fat or fat free cheddar cheese 
  • Chopped bacon
  • Chopped chives
  • Chopped green onions  

Directions: 

  1. Wash and dice potatoes into bite size pieces. 
  2. Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water and cook until potatoes are tender.  Note: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes. 
  3. Drain water and rinse the potatoes under cold water. The cold water will stop them from cooking.
  4. Meanwhile, in a medium size mixing bowl combine, Light mayo, non fat yogurt, apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, Dijon mustard, unsweetened almond or skim milk, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until well combined. Add additional milk to thin, if necessary.
  5. In a large serving bowl combine, cooked potatoes, hard boiled chopped eggs, chopped bacon, and green onion. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined. 
  6. Add the dressing and mix again until well combined.

  8. Garnish with cheddar cheese, more bacon, scallions, and chives, if desired.

Hi Anne I have noticed there is a glitch in the WW app software for the URL analyzer as well. It’s not accurately displaying the correct points based off either the wrong ingredients or the serving sizes.

The most accurate way to track and view points is simply by clicking the red button on my recipes at the bottom of the recipe page and it will take you directly to the recipe in the ww app to track and will display the correct ww points! Thanks!
