💡 WW Tips:
- Cut the potatoes smaller for better flavor absorption with less dressing.
- Want more richness? Add a spoonful of nonfat plain Greek yogurt in place of some mayo.
- Try Dijon for extra zing or add a bit of smoked paprika for depth.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley or a few slices of hard-boiled egg for presentation.
