Potato Salad with Apples



24 oz. “1 bite” potatoes
1 tsp. salt
½ medium white onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 c. light mayonnaise
1/8 c. cider vinegar
½ tsp. celery seed
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
1 medium apple, diced
2 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste



In medium sauce pan bring potatoes and salt to boil; simmer 14-17 minutes or until fork tender. 

Potatoes say "Geaux Tigers!" (Because... they're purple and gold. And all.)


Remove from heat, drain and set aside.

While potatoes are boiling chop the onion, celery, apple, and parsley.

Chippity-chop!

In a small bowl, add mayonnaise, vinegar, celery seed, and cayenne pepper; stir until smooth like dressing. 

Mayonnaise? Psh.

Celery seed omitted. Mostly because it's expensive. 

But we got on pretty well without it. :)


Add onion, celery, apple and parsley to mayonnaise mixture, tossing to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

It's a cumbersome stir.

When potatoes are cool, fold into mayonnaise mixture. 

We didn't wait for them to cool. It's all about the instant gratification.


Refrigerate for several hours or until ready to serve. Can be made a day in advance before serving.

Served with homemade barbecue chicken and garlic bread, and some storemade coleslaw. Summer days, driftin' away.



My Rating: 4/5 "Loved the tang of the pepper - and I'm not normally wowed by cayenne, to be honest. The apples had a nice, fresh flavor. The only thing keeping this from being a 5/5 for me is that I'm not big on potatoes."
