New York Deli Potato Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

10 lbs new potatoes
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup white vinegar
3/4 cup water
1 small onion, pureed
1 tablespoon white pepper
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Hellmann's mayonnaise
parsley (to garnish)
grated carrot (to garnish)

Preparation

Steam potatoes over 32-40 oz. water.
Peel while hot. (You can actually scrape off the skin by hand under cold water.).
Cool in refrigerator for at least one hour.
Mix next seven ingredients in a bowl, adding oil last.
Slice the potatoes in 1/4\" slices into a very large bowl.
Fold in the mixture.
Chill overnight.
Add Hellman's mayo to desired consistency.
Spread in large, flat serving dishes and garnish. (I used fresh parsley and finely grated carrots for color.).
