Korean Potato Salad

Ingredients:
Potatoes 2 lbs, peeled and cut into 2” cubes
Carrot 1 medium m, cut into 4

Persian cucumber 1 diced, about 1 cup
Onion chopped 1/3 cup
Salt 1/4 tsp

Hard boiled eggs 2

Kewpie mayo 3/4 cup
Sugar 1 Tbsp (more if prefer sweeter)
Rice vinegar 2 tsps
Salt & black pepper to taste

Steps:
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add potatoes. Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Stir occasionally.

In a bowl, mix cucumber, onion and salt. Let sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze and drain out liquid. Set aside.

Bring a small pot of water to boil. Add eggs. Cook over medium heat for 11 minutes. Rinse with cold water. Peel and set aside.

Blanch carrots for 2 minutes. (Ok to cook with potatoes at the same time.) Let sit and cool completely. Dice and set aside.

When potatoes are cooked, drain and add to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher or a fork while hot. Add hard-boiled eggs. Mash some more.

Add salted cucumber & onion, blanched & diced carrots, kewpie mayo, sugar, rice vinegar, salt & pepper to taste. Mix well.

Serve warm, room temp or cold. Enjoy!

Notes:
Use any potatoes you like. I prefer Yukon Gold or Russet.

Add an additional 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar if prefer sweeter.

Can also add peeled & diced apple, cooked sweet corn and raisins if you like.

Keep in a food storage container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
