Chef's tips
Dress the potatoes while they are still slightly warm so they soak up the dressing flavours. Take care when folding through the salmon so you retain generous, juicy flakes rather than shredding the fish.
Ingredient substitutions
- Dutch Cream potatoes → Kipfler, Nicola, or red-skinned baby potatoes
- sour cream → unsweetened Greek yoghurt
- hot-smoked salmon → hot-smoked ocean trout
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
Reheating
Enjoy chilled or at cool room temperature; do not reheat.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Overcooking the potatoes until they fall apart and turn the salad mushy.
- •Stirring too vigorously and breaking down the delicate salmon flakes.
