Vegan Potato Salad From One Potato

1 red potato, peeled and cubed (about 6 oz, 150 calories)
dash garlic salt
1 Tofurky Italian sausage, cubed (280 calories)

1/4 tsp dijon mustard
dash smoked paprika
dash chili powder
freshly ground pepper
Kewpie sriracha dressing, optional

In a small pot, boil potato until tender. While potato is cooking, cube sausage. Drain potato and transfer to a large bowl. Add vinegar, vegenaise, vegetable broth, mustard, spices, dressing if using, and stir until incorporated. Makes about two 1/2 cup servings, 260 calories per serving. Serve immediately or refrigerate a few hours.
