Luau Potato Salad image

On a Hawaiian cruise a few years ago, we had a chance to go to a luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Maui. The food was delicious and the entertainment was first class. This is their version of potato salad. (Cooking the potatoes and macaroni is part of the prep time.)

The potatoes in this salad were a bit too firm for my taste. I would cook them for a little longer next time.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would add more spices and herbs next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing next time.
