Mentaiko Potato Salad

December 22, 2021 by Marc Matsumoto Leave a Comment

A bowl of Mentaiko Potato Salad

This colorful Japanese-style potato salad is as simple as mashing four ingredients together, and yet it's insanely tasty thanks to the addition of Mentaiko (spicy cod roe). It seasons the potatoes and provides plenty of umami and mildly spicy kick.

To balance out the richness of the potato salad and cod roe, I like to add a thin chiffonade of green shiso, which adds a nice fresh fragrance that smooths over any fishiness from the mentaiko.

I started No Recipes back in 2007 as a place to share original dishes I'd created with friends. It's since evolved into something much bigger than I could have imagined, but as it grew, the focus shifted from inventing dishes to improving classics. In the spirit of how No Recipes began, I'm bringing back my weekly original recipes for all of my supporters and friends!
