KFC :: Potato Salad

Some of the skin is left on the potatoes, so you don't have to peel them too thoroughly. Just be sure to chop your potatoes into cubes that are approximately 1/2-inch thick,and then let the salad marinate for at least 4 hours so that the flavors can properly develop. If you let the salad chill overnight,it tastes even better.

1 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
4 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons minced white onion
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon minced celery
1 teaspoon diced pimentos
1/2 teaspoon shredded carrot
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon pepper
dash salt


1. Lightly peel the potatoes (you don't have to get all of the
skin off) then chop them into bite-size pieces and boil in 6 cups
of boiling, salted water for 7 to10 minutes. The potato chuncks

Drain and rinse potatoes with cold water.
