いつもの、マヨネーズ入りのポテトサラダ(おからは入ってません)、「じゃがチーズ」(マッシュポテト、ナチュラルチーズ、塩、胡椒、青海苔)、チンジャオロースも作りました。
Thank you very much, Kiki, for the inspiration.
Kikiさん、ヒントをありがとうございます。
I encourage you to visit Kiki's blog to see what Southern German style potato salad looks like.
是非、Kikiさんのブログを訪問して、ドイツ南部のポテトサラダがどんなものか見て下さい!
I think I'll have to make some of your potato salad this week now!
ReplyDeleteWhat I'd been doing was a modification of the recipe posted on www.justhungry.com, combining it with a type of Korean potato salad I'd had at a dinner with friends one night and a stereotypical "Southern Style" potato salad from Texas.
We're known for putting chopped pickles, mustard, and eggs in the potato salad down here, though I never do any of those normally. The last kind I made was potatoes, half a chopped apple, a chopped boiled egg, slivers of kyuri and carrot, some naganegi, and salt and pepper, all tossed in very thick mayonnaise.
You did it. Hope you liked it. Potatoe salad goes well with dashi. Sometimes I make the basic potatoe salad with chopped boiled egg, canned tuna and spring onions and minced anchovis.
ReplyDeleteHiroyuki, you version of the salad looks excellent. Now is my turn ;-)
ReplyDeleteRuminating Roy: Why not make Kiki's authentic Southern Germany style one first?! (laugh).
ReplyDeleteKorean potato salad? I think I have to do some searches! I hope it isn't too spicy.
Kiki: We all liked it. I wish I could have your authetic salad!!!
Sissi: Looking forward to seeing your version!
Hiroyuki: This is the recipe I used the last time I made Korean-style potato salad. It seems the key difference is the addition of some vinegar.
ReplyDeleteI did eat in a Korean restaurant last month which served this with slivers of ham tossed in it. It was fairly tasty, and unlike most kimchi or meat dishes it has no spiciness or heat to it!
I've had some decent German potato salads, and I like Japanese style as well, however I usually make potato salad the same way Ruminating Roy describes, as I'm from Texas.
ReplyDeleteRuminating Roy: I did some googling and found that there seemed to be no consensus on what Korean-style potato salad should be.
ReplyDeleteSome add kimchi to their salad and call them Korean-style while others add gochujang.
I do add vinegar and sugar to my regular Japanese-style potato salad.
muskrat: I have a feeling that what clearly distinguishes Japanese-style salad from others is the use of Kewpie mayonnaise (laugh).
Hiroyuki: Kewpie mayo is amusing, both for the fact that I used to help my mother trade in antique dolls (which included Kewpie dolls), and that the only real differences are consistency and a tiny dab of MSG (according to the labels at the local store, anyhow).
ReplyDeleteRuminating Roy: My understanding is that American mayo is sweeter, while Kewpie mayo is sour and tangy. And, Kewpie mayo is made from yolks only (not whole eggs) and a special vinegar, according to the description on the package.
