Method

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

    Delicious & very easy to make, love it! I used low fat yoghurt as I didm't have creme Fraiche & mixed watercress & spinach. It worked very well, although I think I will use less lemon juice & more horseradish next time

    I made a variation on this theme to use up fridge odds and ends.Instead of watercress, mixed herb salad. I added various vegetables; yellow pepper,asparagus spears, green beans,red onion cucumber and celery. My favourite ingredient some really juicy mixed olives from our local Tapas restaurant and as I didn't have creme freche just mixed some supermarket Tzatziki with lemon and horseradish. It certainly made a delicious hearty salad for a cold August evening !!
