Tarako Potato Salad


I love Japanese potato salad. The potatoes are boiled (or steamed) and then mashed. The classic Japanese potato salad includes cooked carrots, cucumbers, and ham. That recipe takes a bit more time so I was thrilled when this version was on NHK the other night.

This version reminds me of being in Greece and having the meze taramasolata. This is also made with fish eggs, tarako. Quick and easy to put together. Great on its own, or good with some crostini.
