A very unusual and delicious potato salad. This dish definitely elevates potato salad to a new plane.

Don't forget to check out my Backyard Barbecue dinner menu which includes Sweet Onion Potato Salad

7 (3 pounds) medium red potatoes
1 large sweet onion (Walla Walla, Vidalia, or Maui onion)
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 large Golden Delicious apple, unpeeled, cored, and diced
12 pimiento-stuffed green olives, sliced
1/3 cup chopped sweet pickles
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon steak sauce or soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot over medium-high heat, boil potatoes (with skins on) just until barely done or tender when pierced with a fork; drain and cool slightly. As soon as you can handle the potatoes, peel and cut into chunks; place into a large bowl. Cut onion into quarters and slice thin; add to potatoes along with apple, celery, green olives, and sweet pickles.

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, and steak sauce or soy sauce. Spoon over potato mixture; mix gently. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.

Makes 10 to 12 servings.
