Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 3 stalks Green onions (sliced thinly)
- 0.5 Cucumber (seeded and diced)
- 1 medium Carrot (peeled and shredded)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill it with enough water to cover them. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, wasabi paste, rice vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, add them to the bowl with the dressing, gently tossing to coat the potatoes evenly.
Fold in the green onions, cucumber, and shredded carrot until they are evenly distributed throughout the salad.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or wasabi if needed.
Chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold as a side dish, and enjoy!
