Ingredients

½ red onion very thinly sliced
1½ pound russet potatoes 2 x medium size
1½ tablespoon miso
3 tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise or regular mayonnaise
3 tablespoons dairy-free unsweetened yogurt I use almond milk yogurt
3 tablespoons tobiko will be used in two batches

Toppings

Chopped scallions
Ground pepper

Instructions

Place the sliced red onions in a bowl and cover with water. Let sit for at least 5 minutes to get rid of excess spiciness. Drain well.
Peel the potatoes and cut into one inch cubes. Place them in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Cook the potato cubes for 10-12 minutes or until soft but not mushy. Drain well using a strainer.
Combine the miso, mayonnaise, and yogurt in a large bowl. Add in the cooked potato and onions. Mix well.
Add in 2 tablespoons of tobiko and mix gently.
Arrange on a bowl or plate, top with remaining tobiko, chopped scallions and ground pepper.

Notes

This potato salad can be tightly covered and stored in the fridge for up to two days. I do not recommend freezing this dish as the potato changes its texture and turns mushy.
