• 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 drained macaroni to potatoes in the bowl.
• Add vinegar mixture while gently turning the potatoes and macaroni until they are coated with the marinade.

• Tuna, surimi, or kamabuko can be substituted for the canned crab. I like to use canned crab and surimi.
• Olives can be used instead of or in addition to the peas. Adjust for the salt in the olives. Grated carrots can also be added for color and sweetness.
• Instead of vinegar, pickle juice or pickle relish can be used.
• Mix well and level salad in the bowl. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on salad surface and press to eliminate air. This will help keep the salad from drying out on top. Placing salad in a large ziploc bag and pressing the air out does the same thing and is easier to store in the refrigerator.
• I like to use celery salt instead of plain salt.
• Chill for at least 4 hours for the flavors to blend. Keep refrigerated until served.
