Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash and peel the fresh potatoes. While the potatoes and eggs are boiling, prepare the other ingredients to save time. Cutting the potatoes into smaller pieces will help them cook faster.
Step 2
Finely slice the onion and soak it in water for a few minutes to remove its pungency. This will soften the onion’s sharp flavor when added to the salad.
Step 3
Thinly slice the cucumber and sprinkle it with a little salt to draw out moisture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. Removing excess moisture is key to preventing a watery salad.
Step 4
Finely julienne the carrot, similar to the cucumber. This will add color and a pleasant crunch to the salad.
Step 5
The boiled potatoes should be fluffy. Since they are fresh potatoes, they’re delicious even on their own, but we’ll be using them as a base for our sandwich filling.
Step 6
Mash the potatoes while they are still warm. Immediately mix in the onion slices into the mashed potatoes. The residual heat from the potatoes will gently cook the onions, mellowing their sharp taste for a better flavor.
Step 7
Add the mashed boiled eggs and the prepared julienned carrots. Mix everything together. The addition of carrots truly brightens up the salad’s appearance, making it more appetizing.
Step 8
Now, add the well-squeezed cucumber. Cucumbers add a refreshing crunch, so cutting them in half roughly before adding is a good idea.
Step 9
Be generous with the mayonnaise! This ensures a creamy, smooth texture rather than a dry salad. As Chef Baek Jong-won wisely advises, don’t skimp on the mayonnaise for a truly delicious sandwich. Add sugar according to your preference; it’s best to taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Step 10
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to complete the potato salad! It’s so delicious, you might find yourself wanting to eat it straight from the bowl. Prepare for compliments from anyone who tastes it!
Step 11
Spread a generous amount of the prepared potato salad onto your slices of bread or brioche buns. Don’t be shy – more filling makes for a more satisfying sandwich!
Step 12
Place the other slice of bread on top to form the sandwich, then gently press down to help the ingredients meld together.
Step 13
Neatly trim the crusts from the sandwich. Removing the crusts creates a softer, more tender bite. The trimmed crusts can be enjoyed later as a tasty snack!
Step 14
Your homemade potato salad sandwich is ready! While it might seem like there are many steps, it doesn’t take much time to make. Serve on a plate with a glass of cold milk or juice for a delightful meal. Be warned, it might disappear in an instant due to its deliciousness!
Step 15
Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are delicious to eat cold on their own or can be used to make another sandwich the next day. For an extra fresh taste, consider adding a bit more cucumber next time; I personally found that more cucumber enhanced the flavor significantly.
