Enter the Hawaiian Potato Salad! This twist on a crowd-pleasing favorite is super easy to make and includes delicious ingredients like potatoes, macaroni, eggs, peas, carrots, red onion, and celery! The tastes and textures are spot on. It’s creamy, fluffy and crunchy with a flavor that is a kind of sweet and savory with a hint of tropicalness. My secret is to use a bit of sweet relish to jazz up the mayonnaise dressing. Perfect for potlucks and backyard parties.
Start by cooking the potatoes and macaroni. Once cooked, drain and tip into a large mixing bowl. While the potatoes and macaroni are still warm, dress them with white vinegar and let cool completely. Then, add in the mayonnaise and gently stir to coat well. Add in the remaining ingredients and season with salt and black pepper. Finally, chill the salad for at least 4 hours before serving. Finish off with chopped fresh parsley and enjoy!
To make the Hawaiian Potato Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
To a large pot, add the potato chunks and cover them with cold salted water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork but don't break apart, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
Meanwhile, cook 2 cups macaroni according to the package directions. When the macaroni has finished cooking, drain it well.
While still warm, add the potatoes and macaroni to a large mixing bowl and gently toss with 1 tablespoon vinegar. Allow to cool.
Allow the potatoes to cool. Add 2 ½ cups mayonnaise and toss just until combined.
Add in 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 cup peas, ½ cup shredded carrots, ½ cup sweet relish, ¼ cup finely diced red onion, ¼ cup finely diced celery, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper and toss to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if you wish. Serve and enjoy!
