Hawaiian Macaroni (And Potato) Salad image

Can't have a plate lunch in Hawaii without this salad. Potatoes make it very hardy and the peas, carrots and olives give it a nice color. Best Foods or Hellmans Mayo is the only kind we use.

This salad is a nice change from the usual mayonnaise-based macaroni salads.
