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:
