Instructions
- First, place the potato pieces and the sliced carrot into a pot of a large amount of water. Add the salt.
- Cover, turn on the burner and bring it to a boil.
- Boil the potato until it softens.
- Now, strain the potato with a mesh strainer.
- Place it into the pot again. Shake the pot over the heat, removing the excess water.
- Continue shaking until the surface of the potato turns powdery.
- Now, place the potato and the carrot into a bowl. Add the salt, 2 pinches of sugar and the vinegar.
- Sprinkle on the pepper and toss to coat. Seasoning the vegetables when still hot will help them to absorb the flavor. Then, let it sit to cool.
- Now, slice the cucumber with a slicer. Add the salt and distribute evenly.
- Add the ham to the bowl of the potato.
- Thinly slice the onion along the grain. Sprinkle on the salt and toss to coat.
- Wrap the onion with cheesecloth or a clean dish cloth.
- Rub and rinse it in a bowl of water. Then, squeeze out the water thoroughly. This will help to remove the pungent taste of the onion.
- Place the onion into the bowl.
- Squeeze out the excess liquid from the cucumber. Then, add the cucumber to the bowl.
- Now, add the mayonnaise and sprinkle on the pepper again. Distribute the condiments evenly.
- Finally, roughly chop the boiled egg.
- Add the egg to the bowl.
- Lightly mix the ingredients.
- Now, it is ready to serve. Place the potato salad into a bowl.
