Perfect Low Fat Potato Salad

Really yummy potato salad. I only used half of the mayo it called for and it still tasted great. 180 calories and 7.8 grams of fat (1.2 g sat fat) per 1 cup serving.

2 lbs. large red or russet potatoes
1/4 cup seasoned red wine vinegar or seasoned rice wine vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
6 hard boiled egg whites and 2 hard boiled egg yolks, chopped
1/3 cup chopped red onion
3/4 cup celery
4 large sweet pickles, chopped
1/4 cup regular mayonnaise
1/4 cup low fat mayonnaise
2 tsp. Dijon mustard

Peel potatoes and place them in a large stockpot of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer potatoes until tender (about 30 minutes...do not cover with pot lid). Drain and cool potatoes slightly then chop them into 3/4" cubes. Transfer them to a large bowl and gently toss together with vinegar, salt and pepper. Cover bowl and refrigerate until completely cool.

Mix mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl and set aside.

When potatoes are cool, toss together with all remaining ingredients, including mayo and mustard mixture. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
