Potato salad with horseradish

Walking outside in the warm evening, feeling the nice wind and looking at blossoms makes me realize that the long winter has finally ended.

Also new things always happen in the spring at schools, universities and companies in Japan. So naturally the sakura time makes you feel more excited as it's linked to your new life.

Today I am making the potato salad with horseradish. I have once eaten a fresh horseradish sandwich in Australia and it was very spicy! But this type of horseradish cream bought in Australia tastes gentler and the smell reminds me of a bamboo shoot...
 
Ingredients;
potato
carrot
salt
pepper
parsley (dried or fresh)
mayonnaise
horseradish

1- Cut the potatoes and carrot roughly and boil till they become tender.

2- Get the boiling water away and mush.

3- Adjust the taste with salt, pepper, mayonnaise, parsley and some horseradish.

Japanese mayonnaise is usually a little more sour than ones in Europe and Australia, so maybe you can add some vinegar as well.
