Mashed Potato Salad

Must Try

Mashed potato salad? This is a recipe that I somehow came up with years ago. I’m not even sure how it came about. My best guess is that I probably had a version of this potato salad at a Japanese restaurant. This is my interpretation…I call it the lazy man’s potato salad.
