The spiralized potatoes in this recipe are so thin that they're literally done cooking in the time it takes to boil water

Ingredients

6 small red potatoes
½ seedless cucumber
½ cup (75 mL) low-fat mayonnaise
1 tbsp (15 mL) rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp (15 mL) honey
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
1 green onion, chopped

Directions

Spiralize the potatoes with the spaghetti blade of a veggie spiralizer. Snip the potatoes occasionally to shorten the strands. Hold them in cold water to keep them from turning brown.
Place the spiralized potatoes in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, remove it from the heat, strain the potatoes, and rinse them under cold running water. Place the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and wring out any excess moisture. Place the potatoes in a medium mixing bowl.
While the potatoes are cooking, spiralize the cucumber with the spaghetti blade on the spiralizer. Snip the cucumber occasionally to shorten the strands. Place the cucumbers in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Place the cucumber in the bowl.
Combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, salt, and green onion in a small mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and cucumber and toss to combine.

Cook's Tips:

While potato salad might seem like a distinctly American dish, it is commonly eaten as a side dish in Korean cuisine, possibly introduced by American soldiers during the Korean War.
