  • Potatoes: 1 (About 300 g)
  • Cucumber: 1.2
  • Onion: 1.4
  • Salt: 2 g

Instructions

Serves
1 - 4
Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 8 equal pieces. Heat them in the microwave at 600W for 6 minutes, or until they are soft.

Step 2

Slice the onion and cucumber, then sprinkle each with a pinch of salt (not included in the ingredients) to draw out moisture.

Step 3

Place the egg in a pot and add enough water to cover it. Boil the egg.

Step 4

Once the potatoes are softened, add salt, sugar, and rice vinegar. Mix while lightly mashing them.

Step 5

Squeeze the moisture from the onion and cucumber, roughly chop the boiled egg, and shred the sliced beetroot. Add all these to the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Step 6

Add mayonnaise, granulated soup stock, and extra virgin olive oil to the mixture and stir until well combined.

Step 7

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator and serve on a plate once it has cooled.

Tips

Seasoning the potatoes while they’re hot helps the flavors to blend together.
