Categories: Salads, Soul Food

2 1/2 pounds maine potatoes
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
8 ounces Mayonnaise

1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper -- freshly ground

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.
