Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg baby potatoes washed and cut into equal-sized chunks
  • 200 g hot-smoked salmon flaked into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons capers drained
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Whisk or fork
  • Mixing bowl
  • Colander
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Place baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water.
  2. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes until tender.
  3. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm potatoes, flaked smoked salmon, capers, sliced red onion, and fresh dill.
  6. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss to combine without mashing the potatoes.
  7. Let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra dill or lemon wedges.

Notes

For lighter versions, try using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Refresh with a squeeze of lemon before serving. If you're prepping in advance, keep the dressing separate until just before serving to avoid soggy potatoes. Make it fun and experiment with adding other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or green beans for extra flavor and nutrition!
