Chef's Notes
Do not skip the steaming phase after boiling the potatoes! Trapped moisture is the silent assassin of creamy salads, turning your masterpiece into a sad, watery puddle.
Pro Tip
If you cannot find Kewpie mayonnaise, use standard American mayonnaise but whisk in a tiny pinch of MSG and a drop of sugar to replicate that authentic, umami-rich Japanese flavor profile.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to thoroughly dry the salted cucumbers and red onions will transform your luxurious, velvety potato salad into an accidental vegetable soup by dinnertime!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
They say this salad changed the author's mind about potato salad, which is great—I just hope it didn't give them a sudden urge to start a potato-themed cult.
