Japanese Potatoe Salad
By: Natalie Cossar
Ingredients
- 8 medium potatoes peeled and quartered
- 2 lebanese cucumbers thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots grated
- 2 boiled eggs cut finely or mashed
- 6-8 tbsp Kewpie mayonnaise
- 2-3 tsp Dijon mustard
- salt & pepper
Product used in recipe
- KEWPIE - MAYONNAISE
Method
- In a large pot, cover potatoes with plenty of cold water and salt. Boil on high heat until potatoes slide of a fork. Turn off heat, drain and let them cool.
- While potatoes are boiling, place cucumbers in a bowl and sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt. Mix well, then let stand for 10 minutes. Drain any accumulated water, then gently squeeze cucumbers with paper towels to remove excess liquid. This step is optional, I personally don’t mind keeping the liquid.
- Soak onions in a bowl of water for a few minutes then drain and pat with paper towel to remove excess liquid.
- In a small bowl mix together the Kempie mayonnaise and mustard until combined.
- When potatoes have cooled, mash or smash them with a fork, keeping some clumps or chunky bits.
- Now add cucumbers, carrots, onion, eggs, and mayonnaise mixture. Mix it well and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Serve it alone or as a side dish with Japanese Fried Chicken or your favourite dish. Enjoy!
