Ingredients
3 medium potatoes
1/2 zucchini or Japanese cucumber
1 small onion
salt and pepper to taste
3 tbs of mayonnaise
1/4 tsp English mustard

Method:
Boil potatoes and carrot with skin on. It is done when you can pierce a bamboo skewer through the potato / carrot without resistance.

Remove the skins from the potato and carrot. Using a wooden spatula, roughly chop the potato to chunks. Slice the carrot into thin slices. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both and let them cool to room temperature.

Slice the cucumber and onion into thin slices. Add salt and let it sit for 10 minutes. After that, squeeze out all the excess water.

Combine the potatoes, carrots and cucumber-onion mixture in a bowl. Mix the mayonnaise and mustard in a seperate bowl. Mix in mayonnaise with the vegetables gently. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
