WASABI POTATO SALAD

Categories Potato Side Stew Vegetarian

Yield As a side dish, this will serve 6 to 8.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 lbs small red Russet potatoes, quartered
2 eggs, hard-boiled
1 small yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon ground pepper (or for a little more snap use Hot Pepper Blend)
2 tablespoons dry mustard powder (Coleman's or S&B Oriental Hot Mustard)
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon wasabi oil (available in the Oriental foods section of the grocery store)

Steps:

Leave the skin on the quartered potatoes and place them and the eggs a large pot. Cover with cold salted water and bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes until they are a fork tender, but still semi-firm (about 12 to 15 minutes after the water begins to boil). Strain and submerse the potatoes and eggs in cold water to cool (5 to 10 minutes). Shell and dice the eggs. At this point the skins of the potatoes can be easily removed; however, you can leave the skins on if you wish. In a large bowl, whisk together all of the other ingredients. The wasabi oil is particularly important in this recipe, as it adds a truly unique flavor to the dish. Add the diced eggs and the potatoes to the bowl and fold the potatoes and eggs into the dressing being careful to not mash or break up the cooked potatoes. The salad can be kept in the refrigerator for at least a week and it can be served cold or hot. Simply re-heat it in the microwave to serve warm.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh wasabi root if you can find it. If you can't find fresh wasabi, you can use prepared wasabi paste, but be sure to use a good quality brand.
Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of wasabi to your taste. If you like a more spicy potato salad, add more wasabi. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
Be sure to taste the potato salad before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or mayonnaise.
Potato salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
Potato salad is also a versatile dish. You can serve it as a side dish, a main course, or even as a sandwich filling.

Conclusion:

Wasabi potato salad is a delicious and unique twist on the classic potato salad recipe. The wasabi adds a spicy kick that is sure to wake up your taste buds. This salad is perfect for a summer BBQ or potluck, and it's also a great way to use up leftover potatoes.
