Ward off diabetes with potato salad!
Widespread diabetes is definitely a danger, but there’s an easy way to
ward it off, say Harvard researchers – load up on fiber. And one of the best sources is that picnic classic – potato salad.
The catch? It needs to be made with the skin on, using small red or new
potatoes, for it to deliver up to 7 grams of fiber per cup. Fiber stabilizes
blood sugar, reducing your risk of Type II diabetes by an impressive 42%.

Place potatoes in a sauce pan and cover with water. Bring to
a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until
tender. Drain; cool slightly. Slice potatoes. Transfer to a large
bowl. Stir in onion, eggs, pickles and parley.
In a small sauce pan, heat chicken broth just until warm, remove
from the heat. Stir in the mayonnaise, salt, pepper and garlic
powder until blended. Pour over potato mixture; lightly toss to coat. Cover and chill.
Just before serving, gently stir in tomatoes and bacon.
