This potato salad with apples is a wonderful variation on an American summertime standby. Since Idaho is the potato state and a lot of apples are also grown here, I thought this would be an excellent recipe to represent my area. —Mary Pipkin, Melba, Idaho

Potato Salad with Apples Tips

How long with potato salad with apples last?

If you can make your potato salad with apples a day ahead of time, the flavors will blend nicely and taste that much better. Just make sure to eat it up within 3 to 5 days. Our handy food storage guide can also help you figure out how long other leftovers last.

How can you prevent potato salad with apples from getting watery?

Keep your potato salad from getting watery by minimizing the amount of water they absorb while they cook. Start with a waxy potato like red or Yukon Gold instead of a starchy potato (like russets) that absorb a lot of water. Boil potatoes whole or in large chunks just until tender (do not overcook), then drain and return to the pan on low heat for a minute to let excess water evaporate. When cool enough to handle, cut into cubes.

Should you add the dressing to potato salad while the potatoes are still warm?

To keep potatoes from tasting dry, it’s best to dress potato salad while it’s warm. The only problem? Eggs in mayo-based dressings can break down when they contact hot potatoes, making the dressing greasy. As a workaround, toss your potatoes with plain apple cider vinegar. It adds tangy flavor and protects potatoes from drying out.
