  • 800 g firm-textured potatoes
  • 200 g hot-smoked salmon flaked
  • 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 stalks celery finely diced
  • 1 medium cucumber seeded and diced
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs quartered
  • 1 bunch fresh dill chopped
  • 150 g thick sour cream

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork for the dressing
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Serving plates or bowls

Method
 

  1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cook them in salted boiling water until tender but firm, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before cutting them into bite-sized chunks.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and half of the chopped dill; season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the warm potato chunks to the dressing and gently toss to coat them evenly.
  5. Fold in the red onion slices, celery dice, and cucumber cubes gently to keep the potatoes intact.
  6. Flake the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and gently fold it into the salad.
  7. Arrange green salad leaves on individual plates, spoon the potato and salmon mixture over the leaves, and garnish with egg quarters and remaining dill.
  8. Serve with slices of rye bread on the side.
