Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a pot with water and a pinch of salt, and boil until tender (about 20-25 minutes). While still hot, peel the potatoes and transfer them to a bowl. Add the butter and mash them until smooth using a fork or a potato masher. (Tip: Boiling the potatoes with their skins on helps retain nutrients and makes them easier to handle!)
Step 2
Add the mayonnaise and honey (or corn syrup) to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until creamy and well combined. Taste and season with salt as needed.
Step 3
Drain the canned pineapple chunks and finely chop them. Finely mince the onion that has been soaked in water and vinegar and then drained. (Tip: Using fresh pineapple will add an even brighter, tangier flavor. If you have pickled cucumbers, finely dicing them and adding them will also enhance the taste.)
Step 4
Slice your chosen buns or bread in half. Spread a thin layer of jam (or your favorite fruit jam) on one half, and a layer of ketchup on the other half. (Tip: Feel free to use other condiments like whole grain mustard or cream cheese instead of ketchup or jam!)
Step 5
Generously spoon the prepared potato salad onto one half of the bread, filling it generously.
Step 6
Finally, place the fresh blueberries (if using) on top of the potato salad for a colorful garnish. This Hawaiian potato salad sandwich is sure to bring a delightful vacation vibe.
Step 7
Enjoy your delicious Hawaiian potato salad sandwich, beautifully decorated with pineapple and blueberries!
