  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      large         sweet potatoes -- cubed
   1      large         russet potatoes -- diced
   1      medium        vidalia onion -- diced
   1      large         carrot -- shredded
   2      large         eggs, hard-boiled -- diced
   1      cup           mayonnaise-type salad dressing

*****this is the classic way to prepare perfect potatoes******

Cut up potatoes as directed and simmer in lightly salted water until
slightly tender (should still be "tough").

Drain quickly and immediately return to pot and cover with dish towel.   

Allow to "steam" in their own heat and juice until completely cooled
to room temp. this will produce perfect Boiled potatoes everytime.

Once potaotes are coled to room temperature, mix all ingredients
together and chill overnight or at least 4 hours.

Do _NOT_ add mayo or mayonnaise-type salad dressing to warm potatoes!

NOTES: Someone on the MC-Recipies list was looking for a recipe for sweet 
Potato Salad. I could not find one for them so I tried making my own.
Made this last night and it came out great.
(I ate a pint of it on the commute into work this morning).
