Tarragon Potato Salad With Lovage Recipe #380165
A lovely alternative to regular potato salad. Lovage is a wonderful old-fashioned herb, very similar to celery, but a little stronger in taste and with a hint of anise -- a new addition to my herb garden and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites. You may substitute celery for the lovage, if you wish.

SERVES 6

- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
- 1 small red apple, chopped
- 4 tablespoons fresh lovage, chopped (stems and leaves)

- 1 tablespoon tarragon vinegar
- 2 hardboiled egg, chopped

- Mix together the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add the sliced potatoes, stirring gently to combine. Garnish with a sprig of fresh tarragon or lovage.
- Serve immediately, or cover and chill until serving time.
