Potato salad - Japanese potato salad
The Japanese potato salad (ポ テ ト サ ラ ダ) is a classic of home cooking and is part of the recipes of the yoshoku cuisine, that is Japanese but of western mold - in this case of evident American derivation.

INGREDIENTS -2 potatoes - 1/2 cucumber - 1/2 carrot - 1 thin slice of cooked ham - Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise - salt - pepper - 1/2 teaspoon sugar
PREPARATION - Cut the cucumber into thin slices and then into quarters. Put the quarter quarters in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Keep it aside. - Cut the slice of ham thickly and coarsely. Keep it aside. - Cut the carrot like cucumber: into thin slices and then into quarters. Keep it aside. - Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks, put them in a pan with water (must cover the surface of the potatoes) and bring to the boil. Cook the potatoes until soft. Drain them and let them cool. - Mash the potatoes in a large bowl until they are reduced to a puree. - Add the sugar, a couple of pinches of salt and freshly ground pepper to taste to the potatoes.
