Preparation and cooking times

Cook 30 mins

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

My daughters liked this too but did find it a little on the sour side. I think next time I might not use the lemon? Or perhaps mix the creme fraiche with a little wholegrain mustard?

Great for a packed lunch if you leave the dressing off until you serve.

I made this for supper last night. I used this season's Jersey Royal potatoes and doubled the quantity of ingredients as making for four. I found when I got home that I had less potatoes than I thought, so I bulked it out with a tin of butter beans. I added lemon zest along with the juice. Absolutely delicious and healthy to boot - even got my husband eating watercress (he ususaly leaves it on the side of his plate). Everyone said they would be very happy to have it again. I can see this becoming a favourite for family meals and buffet gatherings. Scrumptious and healthy too!!!
