Roughly mashed boiled potatoes folded with cucumber, carrot, hard-boiled egg and a generous amount of mayonnaise. Creamier and chunkier than a Western potato salad, and just as addictive.

Method
Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks.
Thinly slice the cucumber, toss with a pinch of salt and leave to stand for 10 minutes to draw out excess water.
Dice the carrot into small cubes.
Place the potatoes in a saucepan of cold salted water, bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes until tender.
Place the eggs in a separate saucepan of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 9 minutes for a firm yolk, then cool under cold running water and peel.
Squeeze the excess liquid from the cucumber slices, then drain the potatoes and mash roughly with a fork while still warm.
Chop the peeled eggs and fold them into the potatoes with the cucumber, carrot, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, salt and white pepper.
