KONA K'S KOREAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD



Kona K's Korean-Style Potato Salad image

Many Korean restaurants serve this potato salad as "banchan" (the side dishes that accompany your meal). In my opinion, the key is the Kewpie Mayonnaise. It's pretty readily available at any Asian market. Although you can substitute regular mayo, I'd highly recommend using Kewpie.

Steps:

KONA SALAD

This has been around for a while, a recreation of Kona Cafe at Disney's Polynesian Resort. The addition of smoked almonds thrill me. If Asian pears are not available, you can substitute fresh peaches, strawberries, or other berries. Chill your salad bowls. It makes for a much better salad.

KONA HAM HAWAIIAN SALAD

A wonderful combination of flavors that really compliment each other. Great for cook-outs. Never a morsel left. Clipped from a magazine years ago. Cook time is chill time, I recommend at least an hour just to have things good and cold to start.
