JAPANESE POTATO SALAD RECIPE - FOOD.COM
I had Japanese potato salad for the first time a few weeks back at a Zaar luncheon held at a Japanese Tea Garden. I liked it so much that I had to come home and look it up online. I learned that although potatoes weren't a part of traditional Japanese cuisine, potato salad has since become a daily fixture in Japanese lunch boxes. Japanese potato salad is creamy and non-acidic, no vinegar and no pickles here. This recipe is from justhungry.com, tweaked a bit by me to resemble what I had at the Tea Garden. Posted for Zaar World Tour. Time doesn't include cooling time. By the way, we enjoyed lunch so much we forgot to check out the garden :lol:

Steps:
- Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender. Boil the carrot, unpeeled, in the same pot. Boil the egg until hard boiled at the same time.
- In the meantime, slice the cucumber and the onion very thinly. Sprinkle both with a little salt, and let sit for a while (10 minutes or more) until the vegetables exude their juices. Squeeze firmly to get rid of the juices.
- When the potatoes and carrot are done, drain and peel them while still hot (holding each in a kitchen towel to peel them helps). Smash the potatoes and shred the carrot. Mix in a little salt and pepper and leave to cool.
- Peel the hard boiled egg and chop up finely.
- When the potatoes and carrot mixture has cooled to room temperature, mix in the cucumber, onion and egg. Mix in the mayonnaise. Cover with plastic wrap and cool in the refrigerator until serving time (ideally at least one hour).
- Note regarding mayonnaise: The ideal mayo to use is a Japanese one. Next best would be to make your own, using a flavor-neutral vegetable oil such as canola or safflower, not extra virgin olive oil. ("Extra Light" olive oil is fine.) Lacking access to Japanese mayonnaise or the time to make your own though, any commercial mayo will do as long as it's not too heavy on the vinegar flavor. Salad cream such as Miracle Whip should not be used however.

Steps:
1. Toss the cucumber and onion in a little salt and drain for 15 minutes. Rinse off the salt and dry on paper towel. Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil and boil the eggs for 8 minutes. Transfer the eggs into iced water to stop the cooking process. Peel and roughly chop.
2. Peel the potatoes. Place into a large microwave-proof bowl and place a plate that is smaller than the bowl directly on top of the potatoes (this will allow steam to escape around the sides). Microwave for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the plate (it will be very hot) and roughly mash the potatoes with a masher, seasoning with salt and white pepper. Allow to cool uncovered for about 5 minutes.
3. Place the carrot into a small microwave-proof bowl and microwave for 3 minutes.
4. While the potatoes are still warm (but not steaming), add the vinegar, mayonnaise, cucumber, onion, carrot and egg to the potato and whip vigorously together. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Tip: Cooking potatoes in the microwave might seem a little odd, but if they are to be mashed, or served cold or at room temperature, adding a lot of water can make them gluggy. Using a microwave helps prevent that.

- Some ingredients taste best atop a salad, rather than in it. Crunchy elements, like croutons or popcorn, run the risk of getting soggy when mixed with dressing, and others, like nuts and dried fruit, are best as is. Use two toppings at the most for a small salad, and one from each category for a big one; more than that, and things get confusing.• Cheeses: burrata, feta, mozzarella, goat cheese• Caramelized onions• Chopped or slivered toasted almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts• Thinly sliced avocado• Bread croutons, either thin slices or small cubes• Roughly torn bread, pita, or flatbread, toasted• Roasted chickpeas• Popcorn• Crisp-fried sliced onions or shallots• Toasted whole pine nuts• Sunflower, sesame or pumpkin seeds• Snipped herbs• Fresh berries and diced fruit• Minced preserved lemon rind• Pomegranate seeds• Spice mixes like togarashi or dukkah• Dried fruits and berries• Olives• Anchovies, white or traditional• Cornichons• Pickled onions• Capers (plain or fried) and caperberries
