Instructions to make Japanese-style Potato Salad:

Japanese potato salad falls into the category of yōshoku: Japanized "Western" food. Just as we Americans "Americanize" Japanese food by adding such things as cream cheese and avocado to sushi, for example, Japanese chefs have taken certain European and American dishes and tweaked them to suit their own palates. Japanese potato salad is yet another Japanese adaptation of a western dish that they've made uniquely their own. You'll see this potato salad served as a small side dish (sometimes almost as a garnish) in the dinner or lunch box, in a bento box or on the dinner entrée plate. Japanese potato salad is like semi-mashed potatoes mixed with vegetables, ham, egg and mayonnaise.
