Potato salad is very simpleand refreshing in the summer.

You need some cold boiled potatos - best if they are "new", and certainly
not overcooked, otherwise they simply break up.
A small onion, finely chopped.
A couple of tasty (tangy) eating apples
Mayonnaise, preferably home made because a) it tastes better, and b) it tends
to be a little runnier (at least mine does!)

The method:
Dice potatoes into 1/2" cubes and dice the apples a little smaller.  Mix the
onions, potato and apple together in a bowl with enough mayonaise to coat
everything and make it stick together in the time honored fashion.

Thats about it.

Hints:
	1. it helps to chill the ingredients first because the apples go
	   brownish if left standing. This way you can make it a few minutes
	   before serving.
	2. smear a cut clove of garlic around the bowl to give it that extra
	   sparkle of flavour.
	3. garnish with fresh parsley or chives.
	4. save some for me!
