Korean Potato Salad image

Korean potato salad is an adaptation of America's most popular potato salad, but has its own identity when using Korean mayonnaise. It's creamy with a hint of sweetness, yet tangy and savory with layers of flavor and a variety of textures.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
¼ cup minced carrot
½ medium unpeeled cucumber, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup diced red onion
2 hard-boiled eggs
½ small red apple, cored and chopped
1 pinch black pepper to taste
⅔ cup mayonnaise (such as Duke's®)
1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), or more to taste
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot of salted cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add carrots during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.
  • Place cucumber slices in a strainer and sprinkle with salt, coating the slices. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Thoroughly rinse cucumbers and transfer to a stack of paper towels or a dry kitchen towel. Give them a good squeeze until most of the moisture is removed. This is an important step if you don't want to end up with a runny dressing.
  • Cut hard-boiled eggs in half, and set aside 1/2 of 1 yolk. Cut egg whites and remaining yolks into small pieces.
  • Place potatoes and carrots in a large bowl. Mash gently by pressing down with the back of a spoon until mostly mashed, but still a bit chunky. Mix in chopped egg, cucumber, red onion, apple, and black pepper.
  • Whisk mayonnaise, gochujang, sesame oil, and ginger together in a bowl; fold into the potato mixture.
  • Grate reserved egg yolk over the potato salad, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

If you don't have any gochujang, you can substitute sriracha sauce.
