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.)
