Tips:
1. Squeeze more water in cucumbers and onions, and keep them longer.
2. After the potatoes are boiled, they should be fried and dried, otherwise they will be very moist and taste bad. It doesn’t need to be mashed, it has a grainy taste and a better taste.
3. Add seasonings to the potatoes when they are hot, so that they can be better blended and get a better mellow taste.
4. The mayonnaise should be added while it is cooling, otherwise the oil and water will separate and the taste will deteriorate.
