Ingredients
For potato salad
- 700 grams potatoes (peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes)
- 140 grams carrots (~ 1 carrot, peeled and cut into ⅓-inch cubes)
- 100 grams cucumber (~1 Japanese or Lebanese cucumber, sliced)
- 25 grams onions (~⅛ small onion, finely diced)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 80 grams ham (cut into ¼-inch squares)
For dressing
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons evaporated cane sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 hard boiled eggs (peeled and quartered
- black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Put the bite-sized pieces of potato and carrots into a pot filled with cold water and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and cook the spuds until they are tender (about 15 minutes).
- Put the sliced cucumber and onions in a medium bowl and sprinkle with about ¼ teaspoon of salt. Stir this together to ensure the veggies are evenly coated, then let them sweat.
- Prepare your dressing by whisking the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt together.
- When the potatoes are soft enough to easily fall apart, drain them well and add them to the dressing while still hot.
- Stir this together until the spuds are mostly mashed up, but don't mash the carrots.
- Massage the cucumbers and onions until they turn translucent, and then squeeze them between your hands to remove any excess liquid.
- Add the squeezed cucumber, onions, and ham to the potato mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Plate the potato salad and then top with the boiled eggs and a generous amount of black pepper.
