Smoked New Potato Salad
Method
Put the potatoes in a saucepan, add just enough water to cover them, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until just tender.
Drain them in a colander and allow them to cool and dry.
Remove the skin from the potatoes and place them in the cold smoker for just about an hour or so. Leave to cool.
For the vinaigrette, shake the ingredients together in a screw-top jar to emulsify.
Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Toss the cold-smoked potatoes with the onion and the vinaigrette dressing.
Scatter over the herbs to serve.
Variation
At the same time as cold-smoking the potatoes, you could place a few peeled, hardboiled eggs in the cold smoker, then chop them and add to the salad.
You could even cold-smoke the oil for the dressing to enhance the smoky effect.
