SMOKED TROUT AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Soak the onion slices in a bowl of ice water. Cover the potatoes with water in a pot; add a pinch of salt, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly; pat dry.
• Meanwhile, whisk the creme fraeche, vinegar, olive oil and mustard in a large bowl to make a smooth dressing. Stir in the dill. Drain the onion, pat dry and add to the dressing. Add the potatoes and cucumber, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
• Divide the watercress among 4 plates and add some potato salad to each. Flake the trout with your fingers and scatter on top. Serve with pumpernickel bread and/or pickled beets, if desired.

SWEET MUSTARD POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pan of salted water, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 8-10 mins or until cooked through - a cutlery knife should easily pierce them. Drain and leave to cool in a colander.
• Combine the mayo, mustard, vinegar, honey and eggs, then season well. Stir through the potatoes and half the spring onions, transfer to a serving dish and scatter over the remaining onions. Chill until you're ready to serve. Can be made 1 day ahead.
