Taramasalata (From the Kitchen Princess Manga)

This is a recipe I found from one of my Japanese comics, and it's actually not that bad. Mind you, I've only had it once, and I was not the one cooking it, so I have very little idea of what the preparation time actually is, so I gave it my best guess.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

• 1  medium potato
• 2  tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1  teaspoon olive oil
• 1  teaspoon lemon juice
•  some  salt and pepper

Directions

1. Wash the potato and wrap it in saran wrap. Microwave it for 5 minutes. It is ready when you can poke a bamboo stick through it.
2. Peel the potato while it’s still hot. Put the potato in a bowl and crush it with a fork.
3. Add to the bowl the mayonnaise, olive oil, and pepper. Stir. Salt to taste, and then you’re done!
4. You can cut cucumbers or red peppers and lay them on a plate and put the taramasalata in the middle. Add basil or mint to make it look attractive.
