Kikuchan's Potato-Crab Salad image

A fluffy seafood-potato salad which can be served anytime. This is a fancy version of the salad that's on every respectable plate lunch in Hawaii. Feel free to substitute a can of tuna, a can of baby shrimp, or 1/2 lb. of shredded imitation crabmeat for the real stuff. Note: Most potato salads in Hawaii do not include mustard

Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 small russet potatoes
3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1 (6 ounce) can lump crabmeat, drained
1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
½ carrot, grated
½ cup mayonnaise, or to taste
½ teaspoon white sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook over medium-high heat for 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain, peel and dice while still hot. This is what will make the salad fluffy. Cover and refrigerate until cold.
  • In a large serving bowl, toss together the potatoes, eggs, crabmeat, black olives and carrot. Sprinkle with sugar, and stir in enough mayonnaise to moisten. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to serve.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I love that I can use whatever crab I have on hand, whether it's fresh, frozen, or canned.

This salad was delicious! I used real crab meat and it made all the difference. The salad is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, which is a plus. I will definitely be making this again for my next party.
