Japanese potato salad is an original dish for a holiday and everyday table. Its taste is reminiscent of our favorite Olivier, but with some nuances.
The main comp1nt is potatoes, which are boiled until soft, and then kneaded with a crush. You should not get a homogeneous puree, it is good if there are potato pieces in it. The meat part is ham or sausage of your choice. Fresh cucumbers are added to Japanese potato salad. Optionally, you can enter young peas, but not canned. Use a frozen boiled product. When choosing eggs, give preference to a product with bright yolks. For dressing you will need Japanese mayonnaise. It can be prepared independently from ordinary mayonnaise with the addition of vinegar and sugar.
