"Much like using Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise for tuna, chicken, potato, and other salads, crème fraîche provides a creamy and slightly tart alternative that's also egg free. With just the ingredients of cultured buttermilk and heavy cream, you can make your own or grab a store-bought version like Vermont Creamery Crème Fraîche. To make this swap, use about a 1:1 ratio or less, depending on your taste preferences."
"Consider your personal preference for mayonnaise in potato salad and let this inform the amount of crème fraîche you use. The measurement can range between four tablespoons to a half cup or as much as three-quarters of a cup. Start slowly and taste as you go to ensure you achieve the ideal flavor and texture you want out of your salad. You can apply this to just about any of your favorite recipes."
Crème fraîche provides a creamy, slightly tart, egg-free alternative to mayonnaise in potato salad, offering a lighter, tangy flavor profile. Homemade crème fraîche requires only cultured buttermilk and heavy cream, or a store-bought option like Vermont Creamery Crème Fraîche can be used. Use about a 1:1 ratio of crème fraîche to mayonnaise or adjust downward based on preference. Typical measurements range from four tablespoons to three-quarters of a cup, start slowly and taste as you go to reach the desired flavor and texture. The swap suits many classic potato salads and can inspire variations such as creamy dill.
