Directions

To make salad:
1. Cut potatoes into bite size pieces.
2. Put in large pot of cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Immediately turn down to low and simmer slowly until potatoes are just fork tender but NOT soft.
3. Drain well and allow to cool on a rack to evaporate any moisture.
4. In large bowl, mix together the wasabi mayonnaise, onions, and peppers.
5. Add the cooled potatoes and toss well.
6. Taste and add salt and pepper.
7. Loosely cover bowl and chill in refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
To make wasabi mayonnaise:
1. In a bowl, mix the wasabi powder and water together until you get a paste, then let it sit for 1 minute so the flavor mellows.
2. Add mayonnaise and stir, again letting it sit for a minute before adding the wasabi mayonnaise to the potato salad.

Story

Yukon Gold potatoes are colorful, sweet, and firm... perfect for potato salad. The wasabi mayonnaise is a great surprise, especially if your guests are expecting yet another mustard/mayonnaise combination. Wasabi IS hot, but you don't use enough in this salad to really burn... it just gives a nice 'yum' layer. Enjoy!
