Kikuchan’s Potato-Crab Salad

  4.0 – 17 reviews  • Crab Salad Recipes

In Poland, Sunday dinner usually consists of breaded pork chops, mashed potatoes, and a salad, especially one with sauerkraut. For the greatest results, pound the meat as thinly as possible.

Total Time: 1 hr 50 mins

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 6 small russet potatoes
  2. 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  3. 1 (6 ounce) can lump crabmeat, drained
  4. 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
  5. ½ carrot, grated
  6. ½ cup mayonnaise, or to taste
  7. ½ teaspoon white sugar
  8. salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Add frozen peas.

This was excellent! After boiling my potatoes, I place them under cold water, and the skins come off pretty easily. I have been craving crab this summer, so this is a nice change from the usual crab salad!
Matthew Moran
Not bad, just seemed kind of bland.
Alexander Silva
Loved it! I just left the potatoes skin on added some Hawaiian sea salt and it’s always a big hit with family and friends. Thank you.

things i added: 1/4 cup grated celery stalk 1/8 cup pickle juice 1 tsp dill weed I creamed the egg yolks in the mayo-pickle juice mixture with the spices mixture before I added everything else, and I boiled my potatoes with garlic salt yummy yummy!

Local families in Hawaii always make this at parties and it’s always a hit. You can also use imitation crabmeat (really, it’s good) or 1 can tuna if you don’t have crabmeat. A tip I got from a friend is “shredding” 1/2 (or less) an onion and mix into salad. I also use more mayo and add some macaroni.

I loved this recipe. I used the lump crab meat from the can..it made it more better than the imitation stuff. I had trouble with the potatoes though. Overall I liked it. People at the party did, too.

I tried this salad at a pot luck and very much enjoyed it. I made it myself and it didn’t taste nearly as good. Peeling the hot potatoes was very difficult and time consuming. I don’t think I’ll try this one again.

This salad was just missing something. Plus,it was just too time consuming to peel the skins off while they were hot, unless there is some secret way of doing it, it took way to long peeling it off with my fingers. I don’t think it would have made a difference if I just peeled, chopped and boiled the potatoes instead. It was just OK for us and but we won’t be making it again
Howard Montoya
We found this to be a bit bland. All in all it was just okay. Thanks anyway!
Wanda Gardner
Much better than the Hawaii plate lunch “macaroni salad”! Thanks for putting the recipe passed down among Hawaii families in writing. I do add about 1/2 cup of cooked salad macaroni and much more mayo. Everytime I make it here in CA…people love it!!!
Sean Reyes
It was good, but I think there are better uses for crab. Would not make again.
Kevin Sellers
I made this for my parents 50th wedding anniv. We had a luau and everyone raved about it. Easy and tastes great!
Pamela Mckinney
I loved this recipe and so did my family. The eggs made it so fluffy and tasty. Will be making this one again.
Valerie Cisneros
Not a bad tasting potato salad, if you like black olives (salt really brings out the flavor of) you may really enjoy this one, may try again with a bit more sugar.
Christopher Young
My family loves crab and I thought this was a winner. It was just ok. We are from the South, so maybe we just need to stick to potatoes, eggs, mayo and spicy brown mustard in our potato salad. Will try later and make again.
Tony Brown
This is EXCELLENT – I added a little dill, just because i love the stuff and ALWAYS use it potato salad. SO easy and delicious – this is now a standard in my home. Thanks!
