Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb potatoes
- 3 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- a pinch salt
- to taste black pepper
- 1/2 cup cucumber
- 1/4 cup carrot
- 2 scallions
Instructions
- 1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- 2Add the peeled and diced potatoes to the boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they are fork‑tender.
- 3Drain the potatoes in a colander and spread them on a large tray to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a bowl and let them reach room temperature.
- 4While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing: in a medium bowl whisk together the Japanese mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- 5Add the diced cucumber, shredded carrot, and thinly sliced scallions to the dressing, stirring gently to combine the vegetables with the sauce.
- 6Fold the cooled potatoes into the dressed vegetable mixture, tossing gently to ensure every piece is evenly coated without mashing the potatoes.
- 7Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
- 8Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- 9Before serving, give the salad a quick stir and optionally garnish with a few extra scallion slices for color.
- 10Serve chilled as a side dish or light main course.
