    Method

    • Warmed New Potato and Smoked Mackerel Salad: Step-by-Step Method
    • Wash the new potatoes thoroughly under cold running water
    • Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water
    • Bring the water to a gentle boil, then simmer for 15–18 minutes or until potatoes are just tender
    • While potatoes are cooking, remove the skin from the smoked mackerel fillets if still attached
    • Flake the smoked mackerel into bite-sized pieces, discarding any bones
    • In a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche with horseradish cream and lemon juice until smooth
    • Once cooked, drain the potatoes and cool slightly for 2–3 minutes to allow steam to evaporate
    • Cut the warm potatoes into halves or bite-sized pieces as preferred
    • Gently fold the still-warm potatoes into the crème fraîche dressing until evenly coated
    • Arrange the watercress on serving plates or a large platter
    • Spoon the dressed new potatoes over the watercress, distributing evenly
    • Scatter the flaked smoked mackerel over the potatoes and salad
    • Serve immediately while the potatoes are warm
