Mash Potato & Apple Salad! A Puertorican Recipe.

Making BBQ Ribs, Apple & Mash Potato, Corn Muffin and Salad with Homemade Creamy Italian Dressing.

 
I'm sure if you have not heard about this salad before, you are probably thinking one of two things. Either your thinking "Yuck" or "Huh" lol but let me tell you it is delicious and it is very known in my country Puerto Rico especially on special events.

We usually accompany this with Pernil (Pork Shoulder) and Arroz con Guandules (Rice w/ Green Pigeons). Doesn't that sound delicious? Well, it really is!!

The picture on top is a meal I created recently with this apple mash, pork chops, salad and home made corn muffin. My mouth waters just remembering how delicious it was!

Not only is it delicious it is very simple to make as well. It is a mix of sweet and flavorful or salty as you might call it.


Ingredients (4 to 6 servings)

6 medium potatoes (peeled)

cut them in medium size pieces similar so the following picture


boiled in water and a pinch of salt until softened.



Put TWO eggs to boil and once they are fully hard boiled take the shell off and give it a rinse to make sure no egg shells remains.

Slice it similar to the picture below.



While that happens dice some GREEN PEPPERS & a SMALL ONION

 
 


 
Take ONE small Apple preferably sweet apples. I use GALA apples they are perfect for this recipe.
 
Take off all of the skin and cut it up into small pieces.
 
Ex.

 
 

By now your potatoes should be done. Rinse out all water and MASH HALF 1/2 of the potatoes and keep half of the potatoes just the way they are.
 
 
Add in a bowl:
 
Half of the potatoes that is mashed
 
diced peppers
 
diced onions
 
diced apples
 
slices of boiled eggs
 
The other half of the potatoes that is NOT mashed
 
Mayonnaise
(add mayo according you your own taste)
 
 
Mix everything together with the Mayonnaise while folding With a fork slightly break down some of the potato "chunks"

You want the feeling of mash potatoes but you also want the feeling of texture. Which will be provided to you by the apples and the eggs and of course the pieces of whole potatoes.



You are now done! Wasn't that soo simple? When you prepare this salad like any salad you can add or take away from it as you like and make it yours.


 
Enjoy!
