Creamy Potato Salad

Even when you accidentally overcook your potatoes, the sliced vegetables and the thick creamy dressing hides all manner of sins. I find it hard not to multi-task in the kitchen and now and then it comes back to bite me – like today.
Potato & Hot Smoked Trout salad

The key is letting the potatoes cool enough so as not to split the mayonnaise when it’s all combined together. I like that I can eat this over a couple of days without compromising on taste.
Octopus and Potato Salad

My top tip particularly when it comes to cooked vegetables is to dress them while they’re still warm so they suck in all the flavour. The octopus legs I purchased were already fully cooked so they just needed some grilling or frying for colour and texture.
