The original recipe I found said it was where Macaroni salad meets Potato salad in a Hawaiian classic.  I’ve made a few adjustments due to my mustard allergy and family likes/dislikes. I also made a couple instructional changes to make it easier to prepare.  This is the perfect accompaniment for my Aloha BBQ Pork Ribs. I make EVERYTHING without mustard due to being deathly allergic, but hubby always adds mustard in so it is up to you whether or not to add mustard.

HAWAIIAN POTATO SALAD
