How to Make Fluffy, Sweet & Savory Potato Salad at Home
This is a fluffy, sweet, and savory potato salad made with boiled potatoes. You’ll find yourself reaching for more when it’s presented as a salad, unlike plain boiled potatoes. It’s a delightful dish that transforms simple potatoes into a wonderful salad.
Main Ingredients- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 small can of ham
- 1/4 small onion
- 1/4 carrot
- 1/2 Korean green chili pepper (or mild green pepper)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a pot with enough water to cover and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. You can test for doneness by piercing with a fork; it should go in easily. Once cooked, drain the water and peel the potatoes while they are still warm. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash them smoothly. Ensure there are no lumps for a creamy texture.
Step 2
Finely dice the small can of ham. Finely mince the small onion, carrot, and green chili pepper. Aim for about 3 tablespoons of each of the minced vegetables. (Tip: For a finer texture, especially for children, mince the vegetables very finely. The amount of ham can be adjusted to your preference; using about 2/3 of a small can is also a good option.)
Step 3
In a bowl with the mashed potatoes, add the minced ham, onion, carrot, and green chili pepper. Since the ham is already salty, start with about 1/2 tablespoon of salt and add more to taste. Add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar for a touch of sweetness; you can add more according to your preference.
Step 4
Add a pinch of black pepper and 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Mix everything gently until well combined. The amount of mayonnaise can be adjusted based on how creamy you like your salad.
Step 5
Mix all the ingredients gently until everything is evenly distributed. Your delicious potato salad is now ready!
Step 6
Serve the potato salad beautifully. (Tip: Using small dessert cups, like those for ice cream or mini cakes, can help you plate it attractively. They are especially useful for creating rounded shapes.)
