No two Puerto Rican potato salads are the same. The recipe varies from family to family, but the standout ingredient in many versions is cubed apples.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large russet potatoes (2 to 2 1/2 pounds total), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
3 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 medium green bell pepper (about 2 1/2 ounces), stem, rib and seeds removed and diced
1/4 large red onion (about 2 1/2 ounces), diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
1/4 cup sliced Spanish pimiento-stuffed olives, plus whole olives for garnish (optional)
1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers, plus more for garnish (optional)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons adobo seasoning blend with pepper or sazon seasoning blend, plus more to taste (see NOTE)
2 firm, tart apples, such as Honeycrisp (about 1 pound total)

Steps:

  • 1 Fill a large bowl with ice and water
  • 2 In a large pot, add the potatoes and eggs and add enough water to cover by at least 2 inches
  • 3 Place over high heat, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the water is at a simmer, and cook until you can pierce a potato with a fork with little resistance, about 12 minutes
  • 4 Transfer the eggs with a slotted spoon to the ice water
  • 5 Let the potatoes drain and cool in a colander while you make the dressing
  • 6 In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, olives, roasted red pepper, vinegar and adobo until combined
  • 7 Peel and cut the apples the same size as the potatoes and toss with the dressing
  • 8 Peel and chop the eggs and add them and the potatoes (you want them to still be warm but not hot) to the dressing and stir until evenly combined
  • 9 Taste, and season with more adobo, if needed
  • 10 Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the olives and roasted red pepper, if using
  • 11 Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours, before serving
  • 12 NOTE: If you don't have adobo seasoning or sazón, you can replace the amount called for in the recipe with 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
