Japanese Potato Salad

"This delicious Japanese Potato Salad combines coarsely mashed potatoes with thinly sliced cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs, carrots, and red onion in a creamy, lightly sweetened mayonnaise base. You are going to love this salad with tons of texture and unique flavors. use the old wire potato masher to mash the potatoes coarsely, being careful not to go too far. Cool the potatoes once before mashing and once after mashing. Room temperature is ideal for taste and texture. If they are too hot, the mayo in the dressing will separate."
