It’s the season for delicious potatoes! Make this simple, creamy, and irresistible potato salad using fresh potatoes. It’s perfect as a satisfying snack or a delightful side dish.
Main Ingredients- 1 large potato
- 1 cucumber
- 3-4 imitation crab sticks (kani kama)
- 4 thin slices of ham
Dressing & Seasoning- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 3-4 Tbsp milk
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of black pepper
- 3-4 pinches of salt
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 3-4 Tbsp milk
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of black pepper
- 3-4 pinches of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it thinly into rounds. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the sliced cucumber and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This process, called salting, will draw out excess moisture, ensuring a crispier texture.
Step 2
Next, peel the potato and cut it into large chunks. Place the potato pieces in a pot and cover with plenty of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 7-10 minutes, or until tender. You can check for doneness by piercing a piece with a fork; it should go in easily.
Step 3
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and mash them while they are still warm. In a bowl, combine the mashed potato with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 3-4 tablespoons of milk, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, a pinch of black pepper, and 3-4 pinches of salt. Mix everything together thoroughly to create a smooth and creamy potato base.
Step 4
Finally, squeeze out any excess water from the salted cucumber slices. Add the drained cucumber to the potato mixture. Shred the imitation crab sticks and dice the ham slices, then add them to the bowl as well. Gently mix all the ingredients with the potato base until everything is well combined. Your delicious potato salad is now ready to be served!
