Tim’s Healthy Potato Salad

Written by on in One pot, Party food, picnic, Salads, Weeknight/quick cooking

In our home, everyone loves to cook. We love good food and the designing of it. As that means it’s either yours truly or my boy, mainly, you get a combination. Because how can I not share his beautiful works!

We have been missing the greens lately, the weather was weird and cold after getting warm for a little while. So now that it has just started to warm up again, we are tucking in the Chlorophyll! This recipe is oh so tasty, and creamy and filling. It is also very healthy when compared to your normal potato salad. This does make a good packed lunch if you are looking for another solid salad recipe. Switch the potatoes to sweet potatoes or pumpkin for variety too.

A creamy, tasty and healthy alternative to the traditional.
I mean, this is so good for you!
A creamy, tasty and healthy alternative to the traditional.

This recipe combines greens and potatoes to come up with something near perfection. 🙂 You just toss it all into a creamy, fragrant white sauce.

Ingredients

  • For the white sauce

  • 1 tbsp of butter

  • 1 tbsp of olive oil

  • Salt and Pepper to taste

  • 1 Large clove of Garlic

  • 1/2 of whole meal flour

  • 1/2 packed cup of sharp cheddar or cheese of choice

  • 2 tbsp of milk powder with water as needed

  • For the Salad

  • 1 Kilo of potatoes of choice, Diced and steamed/boiled

  • 2 handfuls of baby spinach

  • 1 cup frozen baby peas

  • 1/2 cup of frozen corn kernels

  • 1 scallion, diced

  • Some lettuce leaves, chopped

  • Chili flakes, to top if desired.

Directions

  • Boil or steam the potatoes, and drain. I keep the skin on for extra fiber. Move to the salad bowl.
  • To make the white sauce, melt the butter with the oil in a pan, add the garlic and let is cook off along with the flour. Once the flour smells toasty, add some hot water and a tbsp of milk powder, stir and combine making sure there are no lumps, repeat until all milk powder is used and you have a thick sauce in the quantity you desire, add salt and pepper. Switch off the flame and add and melt the cheese in it. Let it cool a bit.
  • Combine all the vegetables and pour the white sauce over.
  • Stir to combine and enjoy straight away or after chilling in the fridge! Tastes better the next day.

Notes

  • Makes a great lunch, put it on some sourdough toast and see how much you will love it!
