Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 pounds maine potatoes
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
8 ounces Mayonnaise -- Hellmann's Brand
1 stalk celery -- finely chopped
1 medium onion -- finely chopped
1 green bell pepper -- cored, seeded, chop
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper -- freshly ground
pinch cayenne pepper
- Large pinch, plus more for granish

1) Wash the potatoes but don't peel them. Place the potatoes in a large pot
with enough water to cover them. Heat to boiling, then reduce the heat to a
simmer. Cook the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy, about 30
minutes. Drain them and cool.

2) Peel the potatoes - a butter knife works well. Finely chop the potatoes and
place them in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and beat well until
blended. The potatoe salad should be the consistency of a chunky purŽe.
Taste it and add more cayenne, salt, or pepper if necessary. Transfer to a
serving bowl and sprinkle lightly with cayenne pepper.
