The Poi Dog recipe for Mac Salad — unedited. The one we used in the restaurant. And probably my most requested (besides Mochi Nori Fried Chicken). There are no tricks to it, just boil the macaroni according to the box directions and then shock it in ice water immediately. Dice, then boil your potatoes starting with cold water and don’t screw it up. Salt everything enough. Skip the sugar, no matter what the aunties say.
