Ingredients

  1. 4 potatoes, each peeled and cut into eight pieces
  2. salt and ground black pepper to taste
  3. 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  4. ½ onion, thinly sliced
  5. 1 carrot, thinly sliced into rounds
  6. 1 tablespoon apple juice
  7. 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  8. 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  9. 5 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Soak potatoes in a bowl of water to draw out the bitterness, about 15 minutes.
  2. Rub salt over cucumber and onion slices; squeeze out excess moisture and pat dry. Set aside.
  3. Drain potatoes and place into a pot with carrot. Add enough water to cover. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until potatoes can be easily pierced with a bamboo skewer, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove carrot from the pot when tender.
  4. Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Add apple juice and vinegar; mash potatoes with a wooden spatula or fork for about 2 minutes.
  5. Transfer mashed potatoes to a bowl. Add carrot, cucumber, onion, and eggs. Mix in mayonnaise, then season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until cool, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serve in individual bowls.
  6. Use a vegetable slicer or mandoline to slice the cucumber and onion.
