Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Casey's Mom's Potato Salad

I made this last night and it's really good. I used 4 Yukon Gold potatoes, so a little less than the recipe calls for and the whites of 4 eggs.

I can't just "season to taste" - it's not in me - so I took a look at RachelT's Almond Chicken Salad and used her measurements for the spices. I also beat them into the mayonnaise before adding to the potatoes and eggs:

1/2 cup Hellmann's Reduced Fat mayo
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard

The dry mustard was to add a little zing since I left out the dill pickle. My mother, my aunt, and my grandmother would all come back to haunt me if I put pickle in my potato salad.

My husband loved it just the way it was. I think I could have used a little less mayonnaise - being on Heather's diet has just ruined me for fats. I think I'd also add a squirt of lemon juice to the mayonnaise mixture to jazz it up a little next time.

Thanks, Casey. It was really great to have potato salad again.
