Notes

*Be sure to drain the potatoes and noodles well so you don't end up with runny salad.
*Toss the potatoes and noodles with the apple cider vinegar while still warm. This help absorb the tangy flavor.
*Allow to chill covered in the refrigerator prior to serving. This will allow the mixture to set.
*If the potato salad seems dry you can add a little more mayonnaise.
