Potato Salad with apple (Ensalada de Papas con manzana)

I love this potato salad my sister in law Maria always made it and it was fantastic I could never had enough of it I guess it runs in the family my daughter loves it too. The apples give it an extra burst of sweetness that goes well with the freshness of the bell peppers and the mayo. It is a great side dish. You could add green peas or carrots if you like.
