Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 lbs peeled potatoes
• 2 -3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
• 2 -3 tablespoons low-fat creme fraiche
• 4 ounces finely diced cornichons
• 4 ounces finely diced ham
• 6 finely chopped spring onions, scallions
• 1 -2 tablespoon liquid maggi seasoning
• fresh ground black pepper
• 2 hard-boiled eggs, diced (optional)
• 4 ounces crisply fried cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
• 1 red onion, peeled & finely diced (optional)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Recipe

• 1 peel the potatoes if needed & cut into 1" dice. boil until just tender - not too soft! drain the potatoes in a colander and set on one side too cool.
• 2 meanwhile, mix together the low fat mayonnaise, low fat creme fraiche or low fat sour cream & maggi seasoning. add the black pepper to taste.
• 3 add the mayonnaise mixture to the potatoes and mix well but try not to break the potatoes up. add the cornichons, ham & spring onions to the potato salad - mix through gently.
• 4 taste and add more maggi seasoning or black pepper if required.
• 5 put into an attractive bowl and sprinkle more spring onions on as a garnish or parsley. i also like to sprinkle on smoked paprika as a garnish topping too.
• 6 optional:.
• 7 instead of the ham, use crisply fried bacon. great with egg - egg & bacon potato salad! instead of the spring onions, use diced red onions.
• 8 i have also added diced left over chicken & chopped apple to this mixture.
• 9 i have given the option of using more or less mayonnaise mixture for personal taste; some people like it very creamy & others like it not so creamy!
• 10 maggi seasoning is quite salty, so use 1 tablespoon to start with, adding more if needed - teaspoon by teaspoon!
