Potato Raisin Salad


This potato salad was part of my birthday feast.  My parents prepared a feast for my lunar calendar birthday.  They spoiled me.  They made all the others, but I was in charge of this one.  

A Ingredients
Potato, quartered                  2 heads
Carrots, chopped                 ½ cup
Hard boiled egg, chopped    3 heads

B Ingredients
Mayonnaise          3 tablespoon
Sugar                   1 tablespon
Salt and pepper to taste

C Ingredients
Raisins              ½ cup
rum                    1 tablespoon

Directions:
1. Measure C ingredients into a small bowl, soak for -10 minutes.
2. Heat up the potato and enough water to cover them in a medium sauce pan, bring to a boil, then turn the heat to medium and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, until stick insert into the potatos come out easily. 
3. Scoop out the potato and put in the chopped carrots into the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the preferred doneness, drain. 
4. Mash the potato, with or without skin, then stir in B+C Ingredients (yes, the left over rum too).  Then stir in the chopped hard boiled egg and carrots. Sprinkle some cayenne pepper if available and preferred on top. 
5. If the potato salad is too dry, add a bit of milk or water.

Serving: 4
