Thank you for the great video 😎👍 I think potato salad is a favorite in most countries that have their own version of it 🥔🥗😋

It's the only potato salad my husband will eat. I like to make a bunch and keep it in the fridge for a cold lunch during the summer.

This is a favorite in our house, especially during the hot summer months. We eat it with fresh sweet corn, tomatoes from our garden, and some crusty bread and call it dinner. It is extra special if we can enjoy it on our deck surrounded by our container garden. But it is so good no matter where we are, and I’m looking forward to making your recipe for potato salad. Thank you!

In Germany we put into our potato salad whatever we want or have around. Mine is never the same.

Who knew that my mom and my grandmother both made traditional Japanese potato salad?!? I was born in the 50s.

[RikkiMama]

I've been looking for a good Japanese potato salad recipe as this is one of my favorites. Thank you so much for the recipe. I saw that your website has the recipe using the Instant Pot, which is the way I'll cook the potatoes.
I plan to make this soon and will add some edamame.
BTW, I'm now a new subscriber. Domo arigatō
