This is the first time I made this recipe and it is the first time I had 4 ladies at the pot luck dinner ask for the recipe!! It was a BIG HIT!! I needed this to feed more folks so I doubled the potatos but I only upped the other ingredients by half ( so if it called for 1/2 cup of mayonnaise - I only upped it to 1/4 cup to a total of 3/4 cup ) and 6 celery stalks became 9.... I used red potatoes since I did not use red apples ( used gala ). I found that this process took a lot more time than the time on the recipe - things had to cool - things had to chill. I would suggest this be done on day ahead and that you plan it to take 2 to 3 hours ( with cooking and cooking and chilling ).

I followed this recipe as directed except that I didn't have lemon juice so I omitted it along with the sugar. The Dijon that I use is very mild so maybe that is why I didn't find the taste spectacular. I noticed that the mayo didn't blend into the dish well... I'm assuming that it was because of the oil in the potatoes. Next time I will try blending less oil into the mayo or same oil and less mayo... either way making it into a dressing to pour over at the very end. As other reviewers mentioned the addition of the apples was nice. It was like a cross between a potato salad and a waldorf salad. Depending which direction you are leaning you could either add boiled eggs or walnuts to it very easily.
