Judy Joo Instagram – The Best Korean Potato Salad (Gamja Salad) 🇰🇷 Living in the UK has its perks, and one of them is enjoying the wonderfully delicious Jersey Royal potatoes! They’re an absolute treat! 🥔 This Korean twist on the classic potato salad combines the creaminess of mashed or chunky cooked potatoes with the crunch and sweetness of cucumber or apples. It’s a popular side dish, known as a banchan, that adds a delightful touch to any Korean meal. 🥒🍏 Here are some tips to elevate your Gamja Salad: – Opt for Jersey Royals with the skin on to add texture and nutrients. – Remove the seeds from the cucumber and dice it for a perfect balance of crunch and creaminess. – Soak shallots in water to mellow their strong onion flavor. – Keep the carrots raw and finely dice them for a subtle sweetness and a touch of crunch. – Choose a high-quality mayo like Kewpie or Hellmann’s for a tangy and creamy dressing. You can also use a canola oil-based mayo if you’re watching your cholesterol. – Season the boiling water with organic bouillon cubes to enhance the potato’s taste. – Consider adding fresh summer corn for an extra burst of flavor. – Ham is also a popular addition to this salad. For a Mediterranean twist, substitute mayo with extra virgin olive oil and add a dollop of Dijon mustard for an extra flavor kick. It’s not only delicious but also healthier! It’s perfect as a side dish for Korean barbecue or as a scrumptious lunchtime snack. Full ingredients and instructions are on the link in my bio!
