Sensational Sides: Momma's Potato Salad

Ingredients

5 pounds Yukon Potato
3 smashed whole cloves of garlic
Salt for boiling water

Onion Saute:
1/2 yellow onion
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
2 tablespoons zesty Italian dressing

Dressing:
1/2 cup low fat mayonnaise (I prefer the Olive Oil flavored)
1/2 low fat sour cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the smashed whole garlic and potato to the pot to cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.  Drain and discard the garlic.

While potato is boil continue with the rest of the directions.

Melt the butter to a saute pan. Add the olive oil to prevent the butter from browning quickly. Add the onion and zesty Italian dressing to the butter and saute until the onions are translucent.

In a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing.

Add the potato to the dressing.  Add the saute while still warm to the bowl as well.  Stir until thoroughly combined, breaking up the potato while stirring.

Adjust the salt and sugar until you have just the right balance of sweet and savory. 

IMHO, this dish is best if served warm or at room temperature, but I guess you can serve it cold.
