How to Make Japanese Potato Salad

  1. Rehydrate the dried vegetables
    Place the vegetable mix in hot water for about 5 minutes, until puffed and tender. Drain well.

  2. Mash the potato
    In a bowl, mash the boiled potato to your preferred texture—smooth or slightly chunky.

  3. Combine
    Add the rehydrated vegetables to the potato and mix gently.

  4. Season
    Add mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined.
    Optional: mix in chopped meat, fresh herbs, or olive oil for a richer taste.

  5. Serve
    Enjoy immediately, or chill for a cool and refreshing version.


Pro Tip

For extra flavor, lightly toast the dried vegetables before rehydrating.
