Probably mentioned it already, but Japanese style potato salad goes really well with shiso.
This version is very similar to the one posted by AlwaysAisle, the main difference is the lack of eggs. Sometimes I use them, sometimes I don’t.
I tend to use British New Potatoes, and slipping off the skins when boiled and still hot is a bit tedious and time consuming (and a little painful for a while). I’d never judge anybody for buying it ready made.

Pickles bristle by admitting this but ( :whispers: ) I made a potato salad sandwich with shokupan yesterday.
I know! I couldn’t help myself.
It was alright. Better than a cucumber sandwich.
I keep meaning to add umeboshi along with the shiso to potato salad, but my umeboshi supply is dwindling and we need them for ume-shiso spaghetti (which we are going to really miss once the shiso plants die this Autumn)
