Additional Information:
I made this for the first time for dinner today, and Daddy and J liked it. Danish potato salad is very light and don’t make you feel like you need to flush water down your intestines after eating it, yet delicious like Japanese potato salad, but without the Japanese mayonnaise. My favourite is Japanese potato salad and I am very happy that I have found a healthy alternative that tastes like Japanese potato salad.
