Japanese Potato Salad
Report
Level up your side dish game with my mom's Japanese potato salad recipe. It features a delightful combination of creamy spuds in a rich, tangy dressing with a delicious mix of crunchy cucumbers, sweet carrots, and savory ham.

Ingredients
- 100 grams cucumber
- 35 grams onion
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 500 grams potatoes (peeled)
- 100 grams carrots (peeled)
- ⅓ cup Japanese mayonnaise (such as Kewpie mayo)
- 1 tablespoon sushi vinegar
- 75 grams ham (cut into ½-inch squares)
Instructions
- Slice 100 grams cucumber thinly and add them to a bowl along with 35 grams onion finely diced. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly. Let them sweat while you work on the rest of the potato salad (about 20-30 minutes).
- Add 500 grams potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes and 100 grams carrots quartered lengthwise and sliced ⅛-inch thick to a pot with enough water to cover the vegetables by 1-inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil and turn down the heat to maintain a gentle boil. Cook until tender enough to easily pass a toothpick through (about 15-20 minutes).
- To make the dressing, add ⅓ cup Japanese mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon sushi vinegar to a large mixing bowl and mix them together until smooth and creamy.
- When the spuds are tender, drain them in a colander and shake off any excess water.
- Add the hot potatoes and carrots to the dressing and mix them in. You want the outer layer of the spuds to dissolve into the dressing so that each piece is about half its original size.
- Use your hand to massage the cucumber and onions to coax out any excess liquid. The cucumbers should turn translucent in the process. Squeeze out as much of the water from them as you can and add them to the salad.
- Add 75 grams ham and stir the ingredients together. Taste the potato salad; if it tastes like something's missing, season it with additional salt.
