Great lowfat/fat free option. I used fat free sour cream and fat free yogurt- which made the sauce thinner- so I added a few more potatoes. Wonderful.

I really like this recipe. I did use light Miracle Whip because we really don't like the taste of fat-free mayo. I also made 1 1/3 batch to make it extra moist. It was good and an excellent alternative to the full fat recipes that try to give you cardiac arrest-) Thanks Carrie Ann for posting this. I Made this a long time ago and forgot to review it. Good alternative for those of us watching our weight.

I made this for a luncheon for thirty seniors. They-and the kitchen staff- loved it. I used 90 small red potatoes, cut them in quarters and quadrupled the rest of the ingredients. I didn't use pimentos or garlic. It was awesome. Not even a spoonful left!!! I will definately make this again for church functions and for family gatherings. Thanks Carrie Ann-I'll even pass it on to my TOPS friends.

Best fat free potato salad I've ever had (and I've had a bunch!). I used all fat free products and it was super creamy and flavorful. The combination of mayo, sour cream, and yogurt allowed it to not taste like fat free mayo. I'll make this again.

Wow! This is my new favorite potato salad. I like that it doesn't have eggs and all their fat and cholesterol. I omitted the pimentoes and garlic. I used non-fat yogurt, non-fat sour cream and non-fat mayonnaise. I substituted apple cider vinegar. It was soooo fast and easy to prepare. I'm lazy and I didn't have a problem with this. It fits right in with my low to no-fat diet. Thanks. I don't know how I lived without this.
