1/2 cup (~125 g) has about 160 calories.
Why estimates miss: Potato Salad is a multi-ingredient dish. Mayo-based dressing means a small scoop costs more than the potatoes suggest. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
