Description

A rustic one-skillet hash made with crispy golden potatoes, sweet sautéed leeks, and flaky smoked mackerel, served with a sharp spoonful of horseradish for bold contrast. Perfect for brunch or a cozy dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces smoked mackerel fillets, skin removed and flaked
  • pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
  • 2 medium leeks, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Add diced potatoes and parboil for 8 minutes until just tender. Drain well and pat dry.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add parboiled potatoes in a single layer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp.
  5. Stir in sliced leeks and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  6. Gently fold in flaked smoked mackerel, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Allow the hash to crisp slightly for another minute without stirring.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  9. Spoon onto plates.
  10. Serve with a dollop of prepared horseradish on the side.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the skillet so the potatoes can crisp properly.
  • Add the mackerel at the end to keep it tender and flaky.
  • Taste before adding extra salt since smoked fish can vary in saltiness.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet to restore crisp texture.
