---------------------------------
Japanese Potato Salad
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30min
Number of servings: 4
Ingredients:
300g (10.5oz.) potato
50g (1.8oz.) carrot
50g (1.8oz.) onion
50g (1.8oz.) cucumber
2 slices of cooked ham
1/2 cup whole kernel corn (canned)
4 tbsp. mayonnaise
1/2 tbsp. vinegar (rice or grain)
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Slice the onion, sprinkle with a bit of salt, and leave for 2~3 minutes until limp. Wash and drain well. Use a paper towel to squeeze out any excess water. *This removes the bitter taste and strong smell of the onion.
2. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds (you can use a vegetable slicer if you have). Sprinkle with a bit of salt. When they become limp, drain well and gently squeeze with a paper towel. *Removing excess water from the cucumber will keep the salad from becoming wet.
3. Cut sliced ham into 1/2 inch (1cm) square pieces. Slice the potato into 1/2 inch (1cm) half rounds. Place the potato slices in a pot, lightly wash (to remove extra starch), add water until covered, add 1/2 tsp. of salt, and put on high heat. When it becomes to a boil, turn down to medium and cook for about 12 minutes. 4. Check the potatoes with a skewer. When they are done, drain well, transfer to a bowl and mash with a fork while they are still hot. Season with 1/2 tbsp. of vinegar, salt and pepper. *The seasonings will make the potato tasty.
5. Slice the carrot into 0.1 inch (3mm) quarter rounds. Boil for 3 minutes and drain well.
6. When the potatoes and carrots are cool enough, combine all the ingredients in one bowl and season with 4 tbsp. of mayonnaise, salt and pepper.

Thank you for sharing 🥰 Every time I make Japanese potato salad, I always use this recipe.

[@ochikeron]

Thank you 😊

[@NicoleRodriguez411]

It's 2022 and I still come back to ochikeron's recipes

[@ochikeron]

Welcome back! Arigato ❤️

[@Sweetysalado]

I really love how precise you are with your knife cuts, makes a huge difference when it comes to presentation. And you're right, this potato salad version is a lot different than what we usually see here in the US.

Just made it and I'm eating it right now! Guilt-free and delicious! My family loves it! ありがとうございます ！

[@ochikeron]

Wonderful ❤️

[@sigonia2140d]

I love this potato salad 👍🏽I use to live In Okinawa Japan for six years and I fell in love with this delicious salad. I use to eat it all the time at a restaurant named Kinas kitchen.

[@kkPencilcase]

Thx for the recipe. I just made this tonight. I mix russet potato and white potato together. They turned out so well. Easy and delicious recipe.

[@lindachan04]

This is similar to the potato salad my mother used to make, except she left the potatoes a little chunkier and sometimes added a chopped boiled egg. Thank you for bringing back a wonderful memory!

[@ochikeron]

sounds delicious 😋homemade one is the best 💕

[@swtd12eams]

Thanks for sharing your recipe. I've always wanted to learn how to make Japanese potato salad.

[@squange20]

Interesting addition of cucumber and carrot, so will try this recipe.

[@craftymangogaming9707]

I love how she says "And now it's done!"

[@kaycutie1]

Looks good. Different from the potato salad I'm used to but i think i will give it a try.

[@ygergel]

I make my potato salad almost the same way, the only difference is that I use pickled cucumbers: we consider this salad as winter salad and rarely make it in summer and I prefer do not buy fresh cucumbers when they are not in season :) Sometimes I like to make another dressing - plain yougurt with a little bit of marinade from cucumbers+seasoning to taste - sooo good!

[@mandyfish4142]

I like this recipe for potato salad I hadn't any corn so I used chopped piquillo and a few chopped olives. It's lovely and tasty. Thank you

[@katelynn581]

I first stated it when i work with a japanese family and its so delicious but i forgot how it was made.. and thank god i found your recipe. I got to taste it again. This time i made it. And it turns out well.

[@ochikeron]

aww amazing! this is what i want :)

[@Mintshake_bunny]

I've made this 3 times now (actually eating the latest while writing this) and I really love it!! The potato salad tastes delicious and it's so easy to make. I don't even care that it takes me an hour to finish making because the result is totally worth it. And this is coming from someone who doesn't even like cooking. I change the ham to tuna or egg and they're great too~ This is perfect for my lunch box, I recommend everyone to try making this!

[@reberuth2335]

American has potato, boiled eggs, onion, mayo, mustard sometimes ....this looks yummy. Going to try it!!!

[@divinanakamura1452]

美味しいそう！I loved Japanese potato salad, well, Japanese foods is always a winner! Yummy and healthy! 今日はこのポテトサラダ作ります！😋ありがとうございます！😘

[@kriscollins1541]

I made this today for lunch for me and my younger brother, we didnt add corn or sliced ham because we didnt have them, we decided to add two boiled eggs, we both felt it tasted yummy, thank you for this recipe ^_^

[@ochikeron]

aww that sounds yummy! with eggs is what we Japanese do sometimes. amazing 💖

I tried this recipe years ago and love it so much XD I’m still making it once in a while

[@ochikeron]

aww thank you :)

[@Chattermute]

I will definitely make this and bring it for lunch in school! SO TASTY LOOKING!

[@NudgingCharlie13]

This looks really good! I want to try. It's a lot different then American potato salad. This looks like a great lunch to take. Has meat, potatoes, and vegetables in it. Thank you for sharing. Your hair looks so cute.

[@Estenberg]

Very nice simple easy to follow instructions with all of the fat and commentary removed. I did not even need to write the recipe down - it was THAT Clear. Thank You. Eric

[@LamLe-tv1sd]

I tried this with your sleeping bear-shaped rice recipe and it took me two hours. My boyfriend was so confused but he loved it and said it was the best thing he has ever had. Thank you!

[@malenaluna5729]

2 hours??? Doing what?pls add: 13min x potatoes cut & cook. 4 min x carrot 2 min cutting cucumber 3 min mash 5 min mix2 min serve & enjoy!

[@RavenSutcliffe]

@@malenaluna5729 Because they said they also made the sleeping bear curry rice, if you're not used to shaping rice like that it can take a long time

[@でぃでぃ-o8v]

日本来た時、最初に日ポテトサラダを食べました、すっっっごく美味しかった！！フランスと全然違うだけど日本のポテトサラダ一番大好き！レシピありがとうございます！！！

[@fjg1474]

I've made this over and over again and it's a family favourite. Thank you!

[@ochikeron]

You are so welcome!

[@2sailorXman]

LOVE Japanese version of potato salad!!!

[@marlenalee1159]

My aunts husband is Japanese and his mother from japan is staying in with them here in the US for a few months. Last time I visited them, my aunts MIL made this dish except she put in eggs and bacon and did not include the corn. It still tasted just as good! I'm not a fan of veggies but this is one dish where I could easily eat the veggies!

[@janegu303]

OH, My dear friend, I've tried the salad and found out why you can't stop eating the salad at the end of the video!!!! You just can't stop~~~~ It got magic!!! Oh,God !

[@pennyroyalT]

I just made this today, and it is sooo good! Every recipe I've made from this channel was a success. Thank you for the great recipes!

[@ochikeron]

aww thank you 💖you made my day 😊

[@venomagar6089]

Thank God I found this video for my mother! ^_^ My mom loves your Japanese and Korean potato salad

[@blioodkira]

Oh wow this is so similar to our Romanian potato salad. We call it "Beof Salad" and it's just slightly different, we don't mash the potatoes we just cut them in really small cubes, we use boiled chicken or beef meat (which was boiled and cut finely) and we use pickled cucumbers for a bit of sowerness instead of the vinegar. Some may add to the mixture olives, but I did it with corn as well. SO Yummy!!!

[@gordonramsayfan1]

I made this right now and this tasted delicious!!!! My family lived it too !!

[@guineveredizon2009]

I used to buy this in convenience store in japan this is so yummy thank tou for sharing Im making this later.

[@mirukufy]

I don't know how much of a difference the Japanese mayo I used made, but this was sooo good! I made it without ham or corn because I didn't have either of those, but it still turned out really well. I'll be making this again soon. Thanks. :)

[@dostagirl9551]

The mayo is key. I used regular Hellmans, and it didn’t taste as good as when I used Kewpie. Luckily, a lot of grocery stores have started to carry Kewpie mayo in their ethnic section. The only downside is that it has a short shelf life, even when refrigerated. However, it’s also an essential ingredient for spicy rolls, so I can use it for that as well.

[@ochikeron]

yes mayo is the key 💕like i made this video, Kewpie mayo is one of the must-have japanese condiments 👍kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6W0l2puerB5fM0

[@rainyday9068]

I am definitely going to try this for lunch. thank you for your positive comment. I've had this salad in the restaurant and always wonder how they make it.

[@SissouwChan]

I made this recipe yesterday ! I only used 2 tbsp. of mayonnaise because my sister doesn't like it. Result : it was smooth without tasting like mayonnaise. Me and my sister we loved this dish, we even ate half of it when it was warm... xD Thanks for this awesome recipe that I will make again

[@ochikeron]

aww great :) tks

[@nickapimu]

I made it for the first time when i was 12/13 years old now i'm almost 20 and i still love it and make it like the first time! Thank u

[@ochikeron]

Aww Arigato 💖

[@giseleleocadia]

Best potato salad ever! Thank you for teaching us this recipe, and in such a clear and easy to understand video!

[@ochikeron]

You are so welcome! My pleasure 💖

[@mirsey93]

I need to try this some time! Probably the easiest potato salad recipe I've ever seen.

[@crs5912]

I tried this in japanese and korean retaurant, it was amazing... i want to try this as well

[@ochikeron]

You should 😉

[@tuannurulamalina9223]

thank you for the amazing recipe...today i make the beef steak with your recipe but i replace the cucumber with purple carbage..umaii desu...really love all your recipe...arigatou ochikeron for sharing...

[@baileycatastrophe]

This looks yummy! I love potato salad! The way I make mine is with potatoes, white onion, dill pickle, and hard boiled eggs! Chop it all up and then stir it up with mustard and mayonnaise. It's the best! :) I want to try yours now, too!

[@ochikeron]

i like that one, too! it must taste like tartar sauce. hehe

[@aqilahr1917]

I finally made this today! Substituting ham slices with chicken slices instead. It tastes so gooood! :)

[@apricotsushi]

I can't wait to try your version! Have you ever seen Japanese potato salad with boiled egg? I can't remember where I got that idea, but I put that in mine instead of ham. It's very tasty but slightly different from the classic kind, I think!

[@ochikeron]

yes! many people like to add boiled eggs, too :)

[@GentleSnow22]

Thank you for this recipe! I just finished mine and... Wow! It was delicious! I always hate the potato salad that my parents make, but this one is so different ! Really yummy!

[@orvillecarlkfoster3630]

That is a very good way to make Potato salad! thank you I love to watch your videos! God bless you always amen...

[@kaizillaboy]

I didn't have any ham so I added some slightly crunchy fried bacon bits. It was DELICIOUS but no longer a classic Japanese potato salad (like the kind you get in bento's). It was more like a German-Japanese hybrid.

[@ochikeron]

😂but sounds delicious 👍

[@laReinedesFees03]

Nice recipe! And greatly presented! Try another version: potatoes, salt and pepper, mayonaise, finely sliced green of spring onions, peeled and cooked shrimps, tomatoes and a bit of curry powder.

[@hansrajdwarika8070]

Amazing simple method of preparing a healthy side dish. just great

[@ochikeron]

Thank you ☺️

[@hansrajdwarika8070]

@ruben champollion Maybe that is one reason yhey are living long er live.

[@mariawoz5783]

Bardzo apetycznie wyglada ta salatka i z pewnoscia zapodam sobie . Dzieki

[@preetichauhan397]

Really for the first time my salad was so yummy. Thank you 😊 my kids jus it 🥰

[@clareusha6326]

I made it today and my son loved it. Thank you for the great joyful recepie.

[@catherinel7438]

i am very happy to have this simple and comfort food recipe, thanks Ochikeron!

[@babytiger133]

I just try it today without carrots and corn. Its delicious!

[@lukas.strautins]

I just made your salad for my sister who visited! She wanted karaage so i cooked that with this salad. とてもおいしだよ！土生ありがとうございます! :)

[@ochikeron]

aww thank you! great :)

[@nikolai9520]

Absolutely delicious!!! I pretty much stuck to the recipe. No need to add or subtract anything unless personal preference says otherwise. My version did turn into a mashed potato salad and my grated carrots, instead of cubed, were too tender. Both carrots and potatoes were boiled in mineral water. I also was a bit more generous with the German mayonnaise, but for the flavour I got...Wow!

[@teresitadizon853]

Thanks for sharing your recipe. I will try to make this, it looks delicious. 😋🙏♥️

[@ochikeron]

My pleasure 😊

[@lauren6161]

I just made this and it is sooooo good! I like how fresh and colorful it is. Thank you for sharing! 😄😊

[@ochikeron]

aww thank you!!! great 💖

[@ugochinnamdi9275]

Uuh. I am so grateful for the tip on removing smell and bitterness from the onion and cucumber. Yes!

[@ochikeron]

😊👍

[@ochikeron]

+Tiffany Kim it depends on what kind of mayo u use and etc... but mine is about 150kcal per 100g (i think)

[@habibahahmad9317]

Looks so tasty with out the ham it's every different

[@hanaxhan.3]

I veganized this recipe...it was so YUMMY!

And the potato salad looks good, I'll probably make it some time when I'm not busy. Can you also show me how to make salted caramel macarons?

[@ravenssilence4944]

In my house this would be mashed potatoes with extra ingredients - and it looks really yummy! I can't' wait to try it. ^___^ I think maybe avocado might go good with this - sliced or diced and thrown in last minute or something. Must try new things!

[@ochikeron]

sure! ;)

[@taylormorgan1988]

I love your videos! They're one of the few things that really helps me calm down when it's super stormy out

[@ochikeron]

[@Foodielaura]

Perfect for summer picnics. I'm going to make this but it'll never be the same without kewpie mayo - I miss that stuff!

[@Foodielaura]

I'm in UK, there are a couple of import shops that sell it but it's pricey. Special occasion kind of treat now lol

[@bunakkaptan]

Thank you love..I definitely will try next time. ありがとうございました
