Smoky Summer Potato Salad | Slimming World Friendly Recipe
This beautiful smoked potato salad is a must try and easy to make. This is so good and perfect for summertime parties, BBQs or just for the lunch box. This recipe is a winner for anyone following the Slimming World plan or a calorie controlled diet.
SPRING HAS SPRUNG! It is Cornish New potato time.. and I was lucky enough to be sent a bag to sample. A freshly dug bag of potatoes arrived on my doorstep and I have not been so happy in a long time. (I know simple things) But how often do we get a bag of delicious potatoes still covered in dirt?
Did you know that a lot of the potatoes available in the supermarket are not even grown in this country? Grown in the rich fertile soil of Cornwall these new potatoes have a mild, sweet taste and a delicate fluffy skin.
They are seasonal and only available in Tesco stores between June – August and they are a dream to work with. As the weather heats up and the potatoes reach the right size the Cornish New Potato becomes more readily available in stores.
There is no need to peel these potatoes, just a quick wash under the tap. The skin is so soft it can be left on whilst creating any recipe. The potatoes are excellent for boiling, frying, mashing or roasting.

I was asked to create two unique recipes using the Cornish New potato. I had great fun experimenting and creating the perfect Slimming World friendly recipes for you all. So here we have the beautiful Smoky Potato Salad and coming soon Vegetarian Breakfast Potatoes.
