Easy Japanese Potato Salad Recipe

[@annastavropoulos3964]

I have learned so much from ALL your recipes Chef! As a Greek American, I always make potato salads with Greek Olive oil and vinegar and dislike mayo based potato salads. But your mayo based sauce was the best I've ever tasted. Most importantly, my grandchildren loved it!!!! Chef, Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes with the world. I look forward to all of your new recipes. Regards from Anna from NYC 🗽

Hi Anna, thank you for your kind words! I'm happy to hear you family enjoyed this. I'm generally not a fan of mayo either, but this potato salad is one that I make an exception for. I do enjoy a potato salad with olive oil, vinegar and herbs though, especially in summer.

[@4seasonsbbq]

I love me some potato salad. I've never had this kind before, but it looked absolutely delicious. Great video, Marc.

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks Ron! I'm not a big mayo guy, but I make an exception for this 😅

[@FoodThymeAndGarden]

Your mother knew how to make potato salad look amazing. Will be giving this a try for sure.

[@NoRecipes]

It's a pretty typical way of making potato salad here in Japan, but she'll appreciate your kind words!

[@Armymum13]

Love Japanese potato salad!!!! It is the only way I will eat potato salad & Kewpie mayo is a must!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@NoRecipes]

😁I've been eating this with chili oil lately.

[@Maplecook]

@@NoRecipes That chili oil you gave me still lives in my dreams, bro! haha

Thanks!

I‘ve made this six times. it’s such a wonderful recipe. I live in Europe and I couldn’t get Japanese mayonnaise. I use the normal one and since you said the Japanese one has more umami flavour, I put half a teaspoon msg into the mix. Thank you so much for this recipe

[@NoRecipes]

I'm so happy to hear you've been enjoying this so much! Good call on the MSG, Kewpie definitely has some MSG in it.

[@kathcares]

I've had that peeler for over 20 years and I never knew that the end was for removing the eyes from potatoes!🤯 Thanks for the great recipe and all the extra knowledge you always include.🤓💖🧠

[@NoRecipes]

I kinda thought some folks might know what that is for, so I included it😄 Old school peelers have it too, but they're harder to use because the whole head swivels.

[@lemoncake3824]

I sometimes use paprika 🫑instead of carrot🥕. I also love simple bacon🥓 potato 🥔salad🥗😋.

[@NoRecipes]

Good call! I've seen people using salted piman (paprika) in their potato salad here instead of cucumbers.

Looks nice and tasty. 🌻🌻🌻

Thanks!

[@xiomaraf.7770]

Hi how are you doing today looks yummy,I love 🥔 salads.

[@NoRecipes]

I'm doing well, thanks! Hope you had a nice weekend!

[@piplup0089]

I just made this today, but without the ham. I was interested in making it because I had Japanese potato salad recently at a Japanese garden. I think I'll reduce the amount of rice vinegar next time. I think I'd like it with less of that "bite." Very good recipe, though. Thank you.

[@NoRecipes]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! My mom's version is definitely more acidic than other's. Hope you're able to get it perfect for your tastes in the next batch!

[@lindabader-acosta7808]

My mom only made it during the festival days, since it was always pot luck style. I missed it the rest of the time.

[@NoRecipes]

It's so easy to make, I hope you have a chance to try making it.

[@Maplecook]

This brought back a lot of memories for me too, man. Fun fact: I watched this after JUST waking up and being neboketeiru. I looked at the potatoes going by in the ingredient fly-by, and thought: "Holy sh!t, those are the most burnt-up takoyaki I've ever seen!" hahahaha あ〜、アホや、おれ。LOL

[@NoRecipes]

😆 Well they were some dirty potatoes. That scene where I throw the potatoes into a bowl water splashed mud onto everything on that side of the kitchen (including the camera). Took over an hour to setup and clean up that shot. 😅

Can you please make Royce Nama chocolate next? Thank you 🙏

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks for the suggestion! While you're waiting, it's basically a chocolate ganache coated in cocoa powder.

[@onlyinparadise4613]

@@NoRecipes yes, I know. I looked at the ingredients and other YT videos already. Chocolate, cream, alcohol & butter. I know yours will be the best 😉

[@tdman]

Lucky you, my mom never makes potato salad. 😢

[@tdman]

Because she's not Japanese 😅 - We eat lettuce salad with tomatoes and boiled eggs with vinegar-oil dressing.

[@Maplecook]

@@tdman Um...lots of non-Japanese moms make potato salad though...🤔

I like potatoes and I’ve never met anyone who dislikes potatoes. For research purposes I like to ask people if they have ever known a person who dislikes potatoes, and the answer is alway “no”. Not eating them for health purposes is one thing and not liking them is another. So…have *you* ever met anyone who dislikes potatoes? 🧐

[@NoRecipes]

Interesting question.... I know people who avoid potatoes, but I'm not sure if it's for health reasons or if it's because they don't like them.

[@GuapoDelmonte]

That salad is called "ENSALADA RUSA" - with a little twist of Japanese vinegar and the use of cucumbers, we usually use peas in ensalada Rusa, and usually add olives, some might ask why is it called Russian Salad?? I don't know that question, but the very Eastern part of Russia, is pretty close to Japan, so maybe it is originally Ensalada Japones, or maybe even Ensalada Edo, invented during the Edo Period? All Tokyo aside, the Japanese cuisine is some of the best in the World, they excel in the Udon & Umami game, the mayonnaise which is in a Japanese style with umami, can actually be made in the kitchen, using olive oil, egg yolks, salt, lemon juice, pepper, and mix in blender, you don't have to buy it in the shop, some of which cost $10 a jar in Coles or Woolies, the ingredients used would cost you about $1 to $2, and here's the best part, you know what went into the mayo.

[@onlyinparadise4613]

No sugar?

[@Maplecook]

If he put sushi vinegar into it, there will also be sugar in it that way.

[@onlyinparadise4613]

@@Maplecook I’ve seen recipes where they add additional sugar to make it sweet. That’s how I remember Japanese potato salad.

[@Maplecook]

@@onlyinparadise4613 Oh, of course, you'll find every variation under the sun. There's no single and definitive, "Japanese potato salad," recipe, after all. If you want extra sweetness, go ahead and sugar bomb it. lol My mother-in-law, who is more Japanese than Mt. Fuji, is the type of person who sugar bombs EVERYTHING. The woman has so many metal fillings in her head, she can pick up radio if she tilts her head just right. hahahaha

[@Evergreen945]

Can i use white vinegar instead of sushi vinegar its got alcohol not for me.

[@onlyinparadise4613]

I think rice vinegar would be better.

[@Maplecook]

White vinegar also has alcohol in it. And, it's your dish, so yeah, you can use it. Will it be the same dish that Marc made? Not really. It's major change in the character of the thing.

[@NoRecipes]

Rice vinegar does not include alcohol. Vinegar is the product of the final stage of fermentation (i.e. sugar > alcohol > acetic acid). You can read more about the process here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinegar As for using white vinegar, it's a little more harsh than rice vinegar, but you can use it to make sushi vinegar (which is a blend of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt). Here's the recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d32qoIqgrsacnKs
