Main Ingredients- 6 medium potatoes
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 apple
- 4 imitation crab sticks
- 4 eggs
Dressing & Seasoning- 9 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- 9 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp salt
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the potatoes thoroughly and prepare the other ingredients. Dice the apple, onion, and imitation crab sticks. Boil the eggs until hard-boiled.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-2 cm cubes. Soak the diced potatoes in cold water for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps achieve a smoother and softer texture.
Step 3
Place the rinsed potatoes in a pot and cover them with enough water to submerge them completely. Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
While the potatoes are boiling, finely mince the prepared apple, onion, and imitation crab sticks. Separate the egg whites and yolks, and finely chop only the egg whites. (You can also chop the apple with its skin on after removing the core.)
Step 5
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them completely. While still hot, mash them thoroughly using a fork or a potato masher until smooth. Adding the hard-boiled egg yolks at this stage and mashing them together will enhance the salad’s richness and creaminess.
Step 6
To the mashed potatoes and yolks, add the minced apple, onion, imitation crab sticks, and chopped egg whites. Stir in 9 heaping tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined for a delicious potato salad!
Step 7
Transfer the finished potato salad to a nice serving dish. For an appealing presentation, sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley on top.
Step 8
Sandwich Tip! To make a fantastic sandwich, spread a thin layer of strawberry jam on one slice of bread. Generously pile the prepared potato salad on top, then add a slice of cheese. This creates a popular and delicious potato salad sandwich!
