Optional toppings:
1/2 cup cooked shrimp, roughly diced

Potato Salad Preparation
- Cook the potato until done. Depending on your method, it will take anywhere from 5-15 minutes. I prefer boiling than baking the potato. If you’re in a rush, microwaving it also does the job.
- Meanwhile, hardboil the eggs. When the eggs are done, pee l them and roughly dice them.
- Prepare your optional ingredients while the potato cooks
- Once the potato is cooked, dice into bite size chunks.
- Put all the ingredients in large mixing bowl and add a generous portion of Kewpie mayonnaise. Mix everything together. Addd salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Best served warm. Try it in a croissant!
