Potato-Tuna Cake

Ingredients:
- 8 to 10 potatoes
- 2 cans of tuna
- 1 can of olives
- raisins
- mayonnaise
- potato sticks (optional for decoration)

Preparation:
1. In a big pan, put all the potatoes (with skin) to boil until they are soft to be mashed (check it with a fork)
2. Once the potatoes are ready, remove the hot water and wash it with cold water until you are able to easily peel it
3. While the potatoes are cooling down, chop the olives in very small pieces
4. Mash the potatoes and mix the chopped olives, the tuna and the raisins
5. With a spoon, put the mix in a serving dish or plate and mold it in the way you prefer (like a round pie, rectangle, etc)
6. Cover it with a thin layer of mayonnaise and put it in the refrigerator until the time to serve it

To serve it:
7. Decorate it the way you prefer (use your imagination). One idea is to put potato sticks around it, or use other vegetables, etc. If you put the potato sticks in the refrigerator they will become wet and soft (argh!).
