Method

  • step 1

    Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes or until tender.

  • step 2

    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).

  • step 3

    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. Pile on two plates and serve straight away (it’s best while still warm).

Had this for tea tonight and was lovely, after never having mackerel or horseradish I was a little apprehensive but actually so pleased I tried it will definitely be doing it again……

I have been using this recipe for years. I'm steaming the new potatoes just now. Such a perfect summer meal, and economical. I add beetroot to the salad as I think it goes so well with the fish

Excellent combination, added some halved quail eggs (Waitrose reduced) and dabs of chefs balsamic reduction and this just really lifted it.

If I could rate this 0, I would! Do not add the juice of a whole lemon! Completely ruined all the yummy ingredients, ruined my wine accompaniment!

For a lighter version I’ve used Dijon mustard with a splash of water instead of cream fresh. AMAZING!
