Make an easy, nutritious potato and smoked mackerel salad in 25 minutes
Cook:30 mins
Serves 2
350g new potato100g crème fraîche1 tsp horseradish creamjuice of 1 lemon2 smoked mackerel fillets (about 200g/8oz total weight), skinned and flaked85g bag watercress
STEP 1Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes or until tender.STEP 2While 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).STEP 3Drain 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. Pile on two plates and serve straight away (it’s best while still warm).
