2.
Sprinkle Kohlrabi (2 cups) with Salt (as needed) and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry with a paper towel.
3.
Pat Potatoes (1 cup) dry with a paper towel. Add to kohlrabi.

In a large bowl, stir together Large Egg (1), Fresh Dill (2 Tbsp), Dijon Mustard (1 tsp), Celery Salt (as needed), and Ground Black Pepper (as needed).
