My Highly Requested Potato Salad

Submitted by Kitty Kat Cook

"I never measure for this one. I've made it for so long and so often that I've never had to, so these are estimate amounts. My bf never wants to share (so greedy) and it never lasts more than a day! He even confessed to me it's better than his moms! Its got lots of onion flavor, so this might not be for onion-haters ;)"

3. Mix the vinegar, salt, olive oil and onions in a bowl and set aside.
4. When potatoes are done drain and let them cool for handling. Dice the potatoes, carrots and hard-boiled eggs. Peel, core, pit and dice the apple; add to the potatoes.
