Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Scrub and rinse the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt.
- Place the whole, unpeeled potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20-25 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool just enough to handle.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough, peel off the skins using your hands or a small knife.
- Cut the peeled potatoes into bite-sized cubes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- While the potatoes are cooling, peel and finely chop the onion.
- Add the chopped onion to the bowl with the cubed potatoes.
- Add the mayonnaise salad dressing to the bowl with the potatoes and onions.
- Gently fold in the low-fat cottage cheese, ensuring that it is evenly distributed throughout the salad.
- Season the potato salad with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
- Carefully mix all the ingredients together until the potatoes are well-coated with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Give the potato salad a gentle stir before serving.
- Serve chilled as a side dish at your next picnic, barbecue, or casual gathering.
Tips:
- For more flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of mustard or a splash of vinegar to the mayonnaise dressing.
- To ensure your potatoes don't become mushy, avoid overcooking them. They should be tender yet firm.
- For a bit of crunch, try adding some diced celery or pickles to the salad.
- Let the potato salad chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together well.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, drain any excess liquid from the cottage cheese before adding it to the salad.
Enjoy your country potato salad with cottage cheese as a delicious and satisfying side dish. The combination of creamy textures and savory flavors will make this dish a favorite at any gathering. Serve it chilled for the best experience and watch it disappear quickly from the table!
