Potato Salad

INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2  pounds potatoes
   2         tablespoons sweet pickle relish
   8         ounces Mayonnaise  
   1         stalk celery,  finely chopped
   1         medium onion,  finely chopped
   1         green bell pepper, cored, seeded, chopped
   1         tablespoon sugar
   1         teaspoon salt
 1/2        teaspoon  Black pepper,    freshly ground
pinch    cayenne pepper


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.
