Although it has Western roots, potato salad is one of Japan’s most popular side dishes, and this is my mom’s version. The dressing is made with Japanese-style mayonnaise (like Kewpie) and sushi vinegar, giving it a tangy, sweet, and savory taste. The potatoes are half mashed, which gives the salad a creamier texture, and a variety of colorful mix-ins, such as salted cucumbers and onions, cooked carrots, and savory ham, make each mouthful a different adventure. It’s easy to make, but if you want a recipe, I’ve shared it [here](https://youtu.be/Guk9mGyBSjY).
