Thoughts on favoring potato salad
A few years ago, watching the first season of Midnight Food Store, an AV uncle who ordered two potato salads at a time was very moved.

The story is probably like this: Damu, a famous AV actor, went to the store to eat potato salad, was recognized by Tanaka, a guest, and worshipped him as a teacher. Before preparing to shoot the first AV, Tanaka received the news that his mother was ill, so Damu sent his apprentice home to visit his mother. Tanaka debuted after returning to China, but he could not contact his master Damu. It turned out that Damu went home to visit his mother with Alzheimer's disease. Her mother didn't recognize him, but she made him his favorite potato salad.

The drama style of midnight food store is relatively dull, and there won't be too much excitement on the screen. Food shooting is based on nature. This episode is about affection, but because of the protagonist's special professional status, it is very different from family members, which has caused worrying fetters. I didn't leave my family, but I cried when I saw Damu talking about her mother with others in the shop.

At first, I didn't understand why Damu ordered potato salad. It turns out that the potato salad here has a nostalgic taste.

It was after the fourth sentence of Midnight Food Store that I was moved to like potato salad, regardless of style or creativity. Taste it carefully, like it, it's easy.

Potato salad, one of the home-cooked dishes that Japanese people often eat, will appear on the menu of ordinary or high-end restaurants or even places where lunches are sold. Japanese often use potato salad as a side dish of sandwiches, which contains onions, cucumbers, carrots, corn and other vegetables. From the point of view of nutritional intake, this thing is really good.

I went to akasaka pavilion for a barbecue and ordered a set meal. The special salad in the set meal is really delicious and creative. Salad is an innovation based on Japanese potato salad, adding minced pork and ham to mashed potatoes. Add lettuce and potato chips to the bottom, caviar to the surface, and finally sprinkle with tomato sauce, which is sweet and sour. Many dishes are delicious at first sight.

People in China usually like to cut potatoes into chunks or shreds. Wang Zengqi said in Talking about Eating: In the novels of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War, the words "potato" and "motherland" almost became synonymous with each other, whenever soldiers wrote that they missed the baked potatoes in their hometown in the hard front trenches. Luo Songtang and salad can't live without potatoes. In the past, farmers in China had a hard life. Even if they couldn't eat salad, I hoped everyone could eat it.

If Wang Lao is still alive, look at these excellent restaurants in China. Almost all of them make potato salad. It's just the way people in China like to cut into potato pieces. Japanese like potatoes cooked, peeled and mashed. In addition to adding some vegetables cut into small particles, according to personal taste, some will also add ham, tuna, eggs, apples, oranges, peppers and other ingredients.

I prefer this kind of practice, and so does my daughter. Choose medium-sized potatoes and steam them in a steamer for about 15 minutes until chopsticks can pierce the potatoes. When adding onions, be sure to stir while the mashed potatoes are still hot, so as to soften the onions to the greatest extent and mix them with mashed potatoes to produce a mixed taste. Don't use too much onion, just shred 1/4 onion, otherwise the onion smell in your mouth is likely to remain for a while, and your partner may resent your "heavy taste".

The ingredients of potato salad are similar, with the emphasis on seasoning. According to the recipe, I saw that mayonnaise was mentioned in the explanatory materials, and after reading a series of materials, I found that it was really a secret to make a good potato salad. The secret lies in two places: one is to use mayonnaise, and the other is to season with proper amount of vinegar and sugar.

Mayonnaise is a kind of salad dressing and a basic sauce, which is mainly used for seasoning. Mayonnaise can make potato salad richer and smoother. The mayonnaise we see every day is mayonnaise. Japanese mayonnaise tastes sour but not sweet, while European and American mayonnaise tastes sweeter.

In short, you must add mayonnaise to the potato salad.

Adding proper amount of vinegar, salt and sugar to potato salad is an easily overlooked detail. In addition to adding about 10g butter to potato salad, you can also add some vinegar, such as rice vinegar or sushi vinegar. This is the secret of Japanese potato salad.

I once asked my mother and daughter about this practice after tasting it. They beamed and said, "It's delicious." I guess this should be regarded as encouragement after hard work. It is hard to say how much taste accounts for.

In addition, I think how to rub potato salad on the plate is also a primary school problem.

Of course you know, what I'm talking about here must be based on food.
