High-Protein Smoky Paprika Potato Salad Recipe (8 Ingredients, 30 Minutes) High Protein Recipes Side Dishes Budget Recipes Gluten-free Vegetarian Vegetables Low Sugar Recipes Spices

While we may think of potato salad as a summer dish, potato salad is a much-loved side dish that can be served year-round. This high-protein potato salad recipe has a smoky flavor and creaminess that is hard to resist. The potato salad gets its smokiness from smoked paprika, its creaminess from mayonnaise and its protein punch from hardboiled eggs. So delicious!

You only need eight simple ingredients to make a batch of this smoky potato salad for dinner tonight. Here are the gluten-free ingredients to grab from your fridge and pantry: Yukon gold potatoes (check out the health benefits of potatoes), hardboiled eggs (read about the health benefits of eggs), mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, celery and onion.

Cooking Tip: You could use red, white or even russet for this high-protein potato salad recipe. I prefer Yukon gold because of their creaminess and buttery flavor.

This creamy potato salad is delicious as a side dish with pork, chicken, beef, lamb, turkey, venison or seafood.
