Main Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized potatoes
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 3 Tbsp cream cheese
- 2-3 fresh lettuce leaves
- 2-3 morning buns
- 50g imitation crab meat (kani)
Seasoning & Spices
- 2 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
- 1 Tbsp honey
- Pinch of black pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
- 1 Tbsp honey
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the skin off two medium-sized new potatoes and dice them into bite-sized cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a pot, add enough water to cover them, then add 1 tsp of salt and 1 Tbsp of sugar. Boil until the potatoes are tender, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
Next, prepare your 6 hard-boiled eggs. (While ‘baked eggs’ offer a chewier texture, regular boiled eggs provide a softer consistency. The egg whites from baked eggs are chewier, while regular boiled eggs are softer – feel free to choose based on your preference.)
Step 3
Drain the boiled potatoes well in a colander. It’s best to mash them while they’re still warm. Halve the hard-boiled eggs. Mash the yolks with the cooked potatoes. Finely chop the egg whites and set them aside.
Step 4
Shred the imitation crab meat (kani) and then finely chop it. This will add a delicious flavor to your salad.
Step 5
To the mashed potato and yolk mixture, add 3 Tbsp of cream cheese and 1 tsp of salt. Mix well. *If you don’t have cream cheese, you can substitute it with mayonnaise in the same amount for a delicious alternative.
Step 6
Now, add the chopped egg whites and chopped imitation crab meat to the bowl. Stir in 1 Tbsp of honey, 2 Tbsp of sugar, and a pinch of black pepper. Finally, sprinkle in 1 tsp of dried parsley flakes. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. *If you don’t have parsley flakes, you can omit them.
Step 7
Carefully slice the morning buns in half horizontally using a knife. Wash the lettuce leaves and trim them to about one-third the size of the morning bun’s opening.
Step 8
Place a piece of trimmed lettuce inside each halved morning bun to act as a base. Generously spoon the prepared potato salad on top of the lettuce. This layer helps prevent the bun from becoming soggy and adds a crisp texture.
Step 9
For a final touch, you can add decorative elements! If raspberries are in season, placing a few on top makes the snack even more appealing. Create these delightful potato salad morning buns, perfect for a nutritious and fun snack for children!
