Unlike Western- or German-style potato salad (which I also love), the Japanese version looks closer to roughly mashed potatoes. It's flavored with ample mayonnaise (try the tangier, slightly sweeter Japanese Kewpie mayo for stellar results), rice wine vinegar, and studded with refreshing cucumber and carrots. Japanese potato salad combines crisp veggies and Western deli staples, like hard-boiled eggs and sandwich meat, with classic Japanese flavors. The dish gets acidity from rice vinegar and hot mustard, plus an extra dose of creaminess from rich Japanese mayo and cooked, partially mashed potato. Unlike the potato salads we know and love in the UK, Japanese potato salad contains other exciting vegetables and proteins (ham, egg, cucumber, carrot), as well as an umami-rich dressing full of Japanese seasonings (the most prominent of which being kewpie mayonnaise).
