Potato salad recipes can be found in various countries around the world, and particularly in Japanese cuisine!
poteto salada", or potato salad, is a popular side dish, as well as in sandwiches and bentos. As in the American version, the potatoes are mashed almost to a paste - but not quite.
This salad recipe is simple and delicious, requiring few ingredients and little time to prepare.
Clémence Sahuc

Instructions
Peel the potatoes and carrots. Cook them in a pot of boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes. To check if the potatoes are cooked through, prick them with a knife: they should be melting. The carrots should remain slightly crunchy.
Drain the potatoes and carrots. Coarsely mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Cut the carrots into slices or small pieces, as you prefer.
In a large salad bowl, mix the mayonnaise with salt and pepper. Add the vegetables and mix gently to coat the potatoes and carrots with the sauce.
You can refrigerate this salad for 30 minutes to keep it fresh. Perfect as an accompaniment to grilled meats or fish dishes.
Recipe notes
If you use a classic mayonnaise, add 1 teaspoon white vinegar, 1 pinch sugar and a little salt. Nobody makes homemade mayonnaise in Japan. Kewpie mayonnaise is Japanese mayonnaise. It's less fatty and has a distinctive taste, slightly more acidic than French industrial mayonnaise, but goes just as well in a salad. Of course, you can also vary recipes by adding other ingredients: more carrots, other vegetables or even a teaspoon of olive oil and parsley for a more Western flavor.
WHICH POTATOES TO CHOOSE?
For this recipe, the most suitable potato varieties are those recommended for steaming or pan-frying, such as the ratte potato.
