Slyvia's Potato Salad *

Yield = 12 Servings

Amount Ingredient
2 1/2 lbs. Maine Potatos
2 tblsp Sweet Pickle Relish
8 oz. Hellmann's Mayonnaise
1ea. Stalk Celery, finely chopped
1ea. Medium Onion, finely chopped
1ea. Green Bell Pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped.
1 tblsp. Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp. Finely groung black pepper
1 Large Pinch Cayenne Pepper, Plus more for garnish

Method:

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 thirty 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 potato salad  should be the consistency of a chunky puree.  Taste it and add more cayenne, salt, or pepper if necessary.   Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle lightly with cayenne pepper.
