Creole Potato Salad

    Well here is one that will set your toes on fire.
      It is from the cooking class we had on cajun cooking.
      You can reduce the amount of hot spice but it is the best I have had
    in a long, long time, watch out this is very spicy but oh so good

      juice of 2 lemons
      1/2 cup dill pickles...finely chopped
      1 cup good mayo no miracle whip
      2 T cream style mustard (hot dog style..plain old yeller)

      Cook potatoes whole starting in COLD water and cover. (I didn't realize there was a
      difference. Since potatoes are stored cold and in the dark they
      really taste better and cook different if started out cold and covered. I always did
      this ...but we did it both ways...the texture in the potatoes was really different.)
      Check the Potatoes. (run under cold water to stop the cooking process)
      When cool enough to handle, cut into medium sized pieces. Add rest of ingredients
      and mix well. Refrigerate.
