Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds boiling potatoes or new potatoes, scrubbed and unpeeled
1 1/2 cups minced celery
1 cup scallions, cut in thin slices, including some of the green
3 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sweet pickles, diced with some juice from the jar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste
