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