Notes

Make sure the potatoes are cold before adding them to the salad.
This salad can be modified according to your taste, you can add more mayo or more sweet relish.
The salad is enough for three people and I have purposely kept the amount small so that you can modify it to your liking and then double the recipe accordingly.
Do not use flavored mayonnaise.
For a creamier texture, before refrigerating the salad, mash it 4 times with a potato masher.
