hawaiian potato and macaroni salad
We first tasted a potato and macaroni salad while in Kauai. I believe it is also popular on the other islands. My family (Ohana) all love this, and request it often. I usually double the ingredients because it goes really fast!

How To Make hawaiian potato and macaroni salad
-
Step 1In large bowl, toss together potatoes and next 8 ingredients; set aside.
-
Step 2In small bowl, mix mayo, cider vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, salt & pepper, and cayenne if desired.
-
Step 3Lightly toss with the potato and macaroni mixture.
-
Step 4Refrigerate over night,or for a minimum of 4 hours. Taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Some brands of mayonnaise will seem to soak into the potatoes and macaroni overnight, so be prepared to make up another batch of the sauce if it seems too dry after refrigeration, so adjust as needed.
