Potato salad with apples is a tasty side dish, perfect for picnics, grilling or any other family gathering. Make it ahead and enjoy with anything you like.
Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 3 teaspoons salt. Cook until soft but do not overcook. It is best to check several times for doneness. When ready, drain the water and let them cool completely. Then, remove their skins and cut into small cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayo, mustard, salt, black pepper, sugar and parsley. Stir well. To this, add diced apples, minced onion, diced celery and cold cubed potatoes. Mix with a spoon or spatula until well combined.
Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight before serving (see note 6)!
Notes
You can use any potatoes you have on hand, but the waxy variety is great for potato salad.
A combination of mayo and Greek yogurt can also be used. The ratio is up to you.
Any variety will work. Use at least 2 cups of diced apples.
White, yellow or red β use what you like.
Cooking time may vary, depending on the size of your potatoes and their variety. So check regularly by inserting a knife or a metal cake tester if you have one β this is my favorite way of testing for doneness.
This potato salad is a great make-ahead side dish. You can either cook the potatoes in advance and assemble the salad the following day or prep everything on day 1 and serve on day 2.
