Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 4 potatoes, each peeled and cut into eight pieces

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced

  • ½ onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced into rounds

  • 1 tablespoon apple juice

  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

  • 5 tablespoons mayonnaise

Directions

  1. Soak potatoes in a bowl of water to draw out the bitterness, about 15 minutes.

  2. Rub salt over cucumber and onion slices; squeeze out excess moisture and pat dry. Set aside.

  3. Drain potatoes and place into a pot with carrot. Add enough water to cover. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until potatoes can be easily pierced with a bamboo skewer, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove carrot from the pot when tender.

  4. Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Add apple juice and vinegar; mash potatoes with a wooden spatula or fork for about 2 minutes.

  5. Transfer mashed potatoes to a bowl. Add carrot, cucumber, onion, and eggs. Mix in mayonnaise, then season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until cool, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serve in individual bowls.

Tips

Use a vegetable slicer or mandoline to slice the cucumber and onion.
