New potato and smoked mackerel salad

28th October 2021

Ingredients:

New potato 
Crème fraîche 
Horseradish cream
Lemon
Smoked mackerel fillets 
Watercress
Avocado 
Lettuce 
Red cabbage 

Method:

• Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
• While the potatoes are cooking, mix the crème fraîche in a large bowl with the horseradish cream and lemon juice. Season well with freshly ground black pepper (there’s no need for salt because of the saltiness of the smoked mackerel).
• Drain the potatoes, halve and set aside to cool down for a few minutes. Tip into the crème fraîche mix and stir so it coats them and becomes quite runny. Now add the smoked mackerel and watercress and toss gently together. 
• Serve with lettuce, red cabbage and avocado
