Nahhhh...but we only use Best Foods Mayo. Here is the recipe:

Hawaiian Mac Salad

3/4 pound Gem salad potato
1 pound elbow macaroni
1-1/2 ounces carrot
1 ounce chopped celery
1 ounce chopped onion
1 large egg, hard boiled
1-1/2 pounds mayonnaise
Salt and pepper to taste
*
Cover potatoes with tap water; boil until cooked on the firm side. Cool in tap water; peel and cut into 1/4-inch cubes.
Boil macaroni until cooked on the firm side; rinse in a colander with tap water. Dice carrots, celery and onions on the fine side. Grate the hard boiled egg.
Thoroughly mix potato, macaroni, carrot, celery, onion, egg and a little salt and pepper. Add mayonnaise and mix well to desired consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. Makes 15 servings.

Best Foods, for those that don't know - is the same as Hellmans. I think there is just Hellmans here, not Best (am I right?) I had this issue in Seattle, moving from VA. We had Hellmans in VA, and that's Best there....


What's Gem Salad Potato?

Thanks for the recipe!

SO GOOD.
I hope it's good because that has to be one of the least appetizing food photos that I've ever seen. Barf!

You're welcome!

It is a red or white potato, instead of the big baking kind.
