Patriotic Potato Salad (Low FODMAP)

30 Minutes prep • 2 hours chill • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 8 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-4

I have loved this potato salad since Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso published it decades ago in their Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook. I have made very slight modifications to the recipe for all of you to enjoy. It’s a wonderful potato salad for any occasion, and it’s even better the next day so it’s a great make-ahead time saver. The name came from the fact that the salad creates a confetti effect that anticipates a celebration.

Ingredients

14 small new red potatoes, scrubbed clean

6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and quartered

1 - 2 medium-sized carrots, peeled and grated

1 bunch green onions, green part only (chopped)

3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon caraway seeds

3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3/4 cup lactose-free sour cream

3/4 cup mayonnaise

Directions

(1) Prepare: Hard boil the eggs. Wash potatoes and cut larger potatoes in half so they are all about the same size. Peel and grate the carrot(s). Chop the green onion greens.

(2) Cook the potatoes: Heat a medium-size saucepan of water to boiling. Add the potatoes and cook just until tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain, cool, and cut in half.

(3) Make the salad: Combine the eggs, potatoes, carrots, and green onion greens in a large bowl. Add the dill, parsley, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper and gently toss to combine.

(4) Blend and add the sauce: Mix the sour cream and mayonnaise and gently fold into the potato mixture.

(5) Finish: Refrigerate the salad several hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.

(6) Plate and serve: Stir, taste, and add a bit more salt if needed. Serve alongside any grilled meat or fish.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.
