Cooking tips

  • Slice the cucumber as thinly as possible and squeeze firmly after pickling to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Boil the potatoes for a full 12 minutes so they mash smoothly. If the skins bother you, you can pick them out after mashing.
  • Evaporate the potato moisture over low heat first, then turn off the heat before adding butter and shirodashi to keep the salad from becoming soggy and to bring out a rich, savory flavor.
  • You can eat it right away, but chilling it makes it a great beer snack or sandwich filling.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make Japanese-style potato salad using shirodashi at home.
  • Those who enjoy a snack with the richness of butter and mayonnaise paired with crunchy cucumber and ham.
  • Those looking for a versatile recipe that works as both a beer snack and a sandwich filling.
