Name: Smoked-Mackerel Potato Salad
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: Makes 4 (light main course) or 6 (side dish) servings
Ingredients: 2 pound Yukon Gold potatoes; 3 tablespoons cider vinegar; 3 tablespoons grainy mustard; 2 1/2 teaspoons sugar; 1/3 cup olive oil; 1/2 pound smoked mackerel, skin discarded and fish flaked into 1/2-inch-wide pieces; 4 scallions, chopped (1 cup); 1/3 cup chopped dill

Adding large flakes of pleasantly pungent smoked mackerel to a straightforward potato salad gives it a deeper, more savory dimension. Smoked mackerel comes in herbed and peppered varieties as well as plain; all of them will work well here—especially the peppered version.

Cooks' note:

Smoked mackerel is available at specialty foods shops and many supermarkets, and by mail order from Ducktrap River of Maine (800-828-3825; ducktrap.com).
