Ingredients:

12 medium white potatoes
1 tsp. salt, divided
6 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
1 1/2 cups Miracle Whip Salad Dressing
2 Tbsps. regular prepared mustard
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. sugar
1 medium apple
Paprika, and parsley for garnish

Directions:

Peel and dice potatoes. Add 1/2 tsp. of the salt to pot of water and cook potatoes at a medium boil for about 15 to 20 minutes or until done but not mushy, taking care not to let rapidly boiling water shatter the potatoes.
Drain the potatoes, rinse in cool water, then allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Mix potaotes with eggs, green pepper, celery, onions and relish. In small bowl, mix salad dressing with mustard, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper and sugar. Pour over potato mixture and toss to coat. Let the salad chill for one hour. Just before serving, core, peel and dice apple and mix into salad. Garnish with paprika and parsley. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

The addition of the diced apple is what I like so much about this salad. It gives it a special taste and crispness. Just don't forget to add it before serving. I keep the apple on the counter so I don't forget. Also, you will find 12 more potato salad recipes in the Epicurean Recipe Archives.
