Potato And Egg Salad

This is really a fairly classic potato salad, though it does use cream cheese in place of the usual mayonnaise and generally involves lots of things that are happy, not just in the company of potatoes, but in the company of smoked salmon too.

You’ll need:
  • 800g new potatoes (or waxy salad potatoes)
  • 2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
  • 2 tsp salt, for boiling the potatoes
  • 4 eggs, hard-boiled
  • 120g cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 3 tblsp lemon juice
  • 30 drops tabasco
  • 4 tblsp capers
  • 8 spring onions, white and green parts finely sliced
  • 100g celery, finely diced (2-4 sticks, depending on size)
  • 4 tblsp finely chopped dill
  • 1 tsp coarse salt or to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper
The Steps:
  • Scrub the potatoes and halve or quarter any larger potatoes so that you have roughly even-sized pieces, then bring about 1.5l of water to the boil in a saucepan, add about 2 tsp salt, the pieces of crushed garlic and the potatoes.
  • Bring the potatoes back to the boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer gently, covered, for around 15-20 minutes or until just fork-tender, then drain well, return them to the saucepan and allow them to cool, covered by a tea-towel.
  • Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes or not as you prefer, and chop into approx. 0.5cm chunks.
  • In a large bowl, mash together the hard-boiled eggs, cream cheese, mustard, lemon juice, tabasco and capers.
  • Stir in the chopped potato, spring onions, celery and dill. Add salt and black pepper to taste and more tabasco if you like.
The Variations:
  • You could certainly replace some or all of the spring onions with chives or add some horseradish for a bit of extra bite.
The Results:
  • Salad servings for 4-6 or enough to fill around 25 to 30 slices of smoked salmon as above.
