❓ FAQs About Japanese Potato Salad

Q1: What’s the difference between Japanese and Western potato salad?
A1: Japanese potato salad is creamier and slightly sweet, with partially mashed potatoes and Kewpie mayo, giving it a smoother, richer flavor.

Q2: Can I use regular mayonnaise instead of Kewpie mayo?
A2: Yes, but Kewpie mayonnaise has a deeper umami taste because it’s made with egg yolks and rice vinegar.

Q3: Can I make it ahead of time?
A3: Absolutely! It tastes even better after chilling for a few hours as the flavors blend.

Q4: How long does Japanese potato salad last in the fridge?
A4: Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days. Avoid freezing as it changes texture.

Q5: What other ingredients can I add?
A5: You can add ham, corn, peas, or apples for extra flavor and texture variations.

🍳 Pro Tips for the Best Japanese Potato Salad

  • Don’t overmash the potatoes — small chunks give authentic texture.
  • Mix in mayo while potatoes are slightly warm to enhance creaminess.
  • Always use Japanese Kewpie mayo for the signature flavor.
  • Add a pinch of mustard for a subtle tang.
