--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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 puree.  Taste it and add more
   cayenne, salt, or pepper if necessary.  Transfer to a serving bowl
   and sprinkle lightly with cayenne pepper.
