ポテトサラダ

I love Potato Salad, and I tried many different types of potato salad in the U.S.  But taste is not good at all.  I believe Japanese style potato salad is the best.

I love to make potato salad because it is easy and good side dish. I brought my potato salad to potluck party several time, and everyone loves it too!

 

In Japan, we usually put cucumber, ham, corn, and onion as ingredients. Potato salad is popular not only in a home but a daily dish store and a lunch provider. 

 

When researching about potato salad, I found that Germany also have a dish called potato salad.  German potato salad is totally different from ours.  In Germany, it is common to fry potato with bacon, and simmer with bouillon.  Then mix with balsamic vinegar base dressing.  This looks really taste! I would like to try it sometime.
