This Week’s Recipe: Potato Salada

Inspiration: Because you can’t have a Hamburg and a Carrot Lime Salad without one more side – I flipped back through the Japanese Soul Cooking cookbook and found this gem.

However, because it calls for Kewpie mayo (which everyone should have in their house because it’s awesome) this potato salada is very, very rich! Especially, when you use the variation recipe and add in two hardboiled eggs. (This richness, I think could be mitigated slightly by adding extra curried veggies and a tad more vinegar. I’ll try it on the next go round!)

(BTW – If you want to dip your toes into Japanese cooking, but are intimidated by the seeming technicalness of this cooking style, I highly recommend this cookbook. Like comfort dishes the world over they par down the difficult level of the cooking techniques thereby making Japanese flavors accessible to a less expert cook…like me!)

Christie: Despite this being comfort food, I think Poirot would enjoy the richness of this dish!
