How to make Keto Potato Salad: step-by-step guide
Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Wash the cauliflowers and dry them.
- Slice the smoked sausage Kiolbassa into rounds.
- Dice the red bell pepper, red onion, celery, and pickles.
- Hard-boil the eggs and let them cool. Once cooled, peel and dice 4 of the hard-boiled eggs. Slice the remaining 2 eggs for topping.


Cooking instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Quarter the cauliflower, place it in a cast-iron skillet, cover it with foil, and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 60 minutes or until tender. Cut the cauliflower into cubes between ½" to 1" thick.
- Heat the oil in the same cast-iron skillet and cook the sausages for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- In a large separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; add the cauliflower, sausages, and 4 diced eggs. Taste for salt and pepper and add more if needed.
- Slice the remaining eggs and add to the top of the salad, sprinkle with paprika. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Chef's pro tip
If you don't want your cauliflower to turn out mushy, remember to keep an eye on the cooking time. Make sure it's not too soft but still has a little bite. Oh, and don't forget to cut the cauliflower into even-sized cubes so it cooks evenly. If you can, let the salad sit overnight to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.

Anna Brinks says
What’s the serving size if it serves 25?
Alex Lester says
Hi Anna, it's simply 1/25th of the recipe. You can also weigh your entire final dish and divide that by 25 to get an exact gram amount per serving. Since everyone measures differently there's no way to provide this information for written recipes like there is for a prepackage food product.
Henrik says
So each person gets less that one sixth of a sausage and one quarter of an egg? I guess it servers 25 if it is one of many dishes on a buffet.
Linda says
Looks amazing!
I went to the website and picked a package for 60.00 but they want to ship, so I can't afford it, will use what I can find around here (MA), I guess.
