Japanese Potato Salad Recipe

Feel free to spice up this potato salad with more flavour such as chopped ham, onions, karashi (Japanese mustard) and chopped hard boiled egg.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Japanese cucumber cut to thin, semi-circle slices
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 carrot peeled and cut to thin, semi-circle slices
  • 2 russett potatoes peeled and quartered
  • water (enough water to submerge the potatoes)
  • 3 tbsp cooked corn nibblets usually tetra-pak or canned
  • 3/4 cup Japanese mayonnaise
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Rub cucumber slices with salt and allow to ‘sweat’ for about 30 minutes. This will make the cucumbers more crunchy. Rinse, drain and squeeze dry.
  2. In a pot, bring water to boil. Add carrots and potatoes. Boil for 10 minutes. Drain.
  3. Transfer boiled potatoes to a bowl. Use a fork to mash the potatoes, leaving some small chunks behind.
  4. Add corn, carrot, cucumber and Japanese mayonnaise. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill in fridge before serving.
