Aloha bruddah! It's a local Hawaiian favorite mixed plate side dish of potato mac (macaroni) salad. People make it differently, just like potato salad, which is made in 101 da kine ways. This recipe is my easy and favorite version of ono (tasty) potato mac. Two scoops of potato mac for me, please!

Ingredients

  • 7 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 5 eggs

  • 1 cup elbow macaroni

  • 3 cups mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar (Optional)

  • 1 ½ teaspoons curry powder

  • 1 teaspoon celery seed

  • salt and black pepper to taste

  • 2 cups grated carrots

  • 1 cup frozen green peas, cooked, drained

  • 1 small sweet onion, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain; refrigerate to cool.

  2. Meanwhile, place eggs into a saucepan in a single layer and cover with water by 1 inch; cover saucepan. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel. Chop cooled eggs; set aside.

  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander set in the sink; rinse with cold water.

  4. Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, curry powder, celery seed, salt, and black pepper together in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside.

  5. Combine cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, macaroni, carrots, peas, and onion in a large bowl. Carefully stir in dressing; cover and refrigerate overnight.
