This one caught me off guard because I was thinking of homemade shoestring potatoes. This recipe uses those from the can that I used to call Potato Stix when I was younger. I'm wondering if they are still available.

Crunchy Tuna Salad with Shoestring Potatoes

1 (7 ounce) can solid white tuna, drained
1 cup shredded carrot
1 cup diced celery
1/4 cup minced onion
1 cup Miracle Whip (Mayonnaise is OK but flavor is better with Miracle Whip)
1 (4 ounce) can shoestring potatoes
salt and pepper
Directions:

1 Mix all ingredients except shoe string potatoes together and refrigerate overnight.
2 Stir in shoestring potatoes just before serving.
3 Serve in lettuce lined bowl.
4 Note: cooking time is overnight refrigerating time.

Serves 4
