Crunchy Tuna Salad With Shoestring Potatoes

Linda B's Note:

My family has enjoyed this tuna salad for years. The salty crunch of the shoestring potatoes is a great complement to the creamy sweetness of the tuna and carrots. Add shoestring potatoes only at the very last moment as they become soggy after sitting. Make only as much as you will eat because these are not good as leftovers!

This is how we use up our Thanksgiving left-overs, as we use chopped turkey instead of the tuna. Yum!

I used to make this a lot for lunch, eating it on crackers. My recipe calls for 2 cans tuna and 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped and Salad Supreme. Be sure to put the shoestring potatoes just before eating.
