Why we love this

We love recipes that feel relaxed but thoughtful: good seafood, a simple method, and enough flavour to make the meal feel like a small occasion.

  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise

  • salt & pepper to taste
  • Wash pototoes and then boil for approx 20 minutes until cooked
  • Drain and allow them to cool in a bowl
  • Mix the mayonnaise and horseradish together and stir through the potatoes
  • Chop the chives and combine with the potatoes and transfer to a serving dish
  • Add salt & pepper to taste
