Rustic Potato&Apple Mash with Smoked Trout

A side that becomes a main: rustic potato and apple mash finished with smoked trout and sweet-and-sour radishes. An elegant play of contrasts: sweet/savoury, warm/fresh, soft/crunchy. It keeps your spoon moving.

But the real star is the smoked trout: ours comes from Mòr Atlantic Trout, a family-run operation active since 1972.

Ready to make it? This is what you need:

Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 200g Smokin’ Brothers smoked trout
  • 600g potatoes
  • 2 apples
  • 40g butter
  • parsley
  • 1 bunch radishes
  • 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • pea shoots / microgreens
  • salt, pepper

 

Method

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes and apples; reserve a small handful of apple cubes for finishing.
  2. Cook potatoes and apples in salted water until tender; drain well.
  3. In a pan, melt the butter and brown the reserved apple cubes until golden; set aside.
  4. Thinly slice the radishes; toss with chopped parsley, white balsamic, rapeseed oil, salt, and pepper. Let stand 5–10 minutes.
  5. Coarsely mash the boiled potatoes and apples (keep a “rustic” texture), then fold in the golden apples. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon the mash onto plates and top with the sweet-and-sour radishes, as many slices of smoked trout as you like, and the microgreens. Finish with freshly ground pepper and, if you wish, a drizzle of oil.

Tips & Variations

  • Apple choice: Reinette or Granny Smith for a fresher contrast; Golden if you prefer sweetness.
  • Dairy-free: swap butter for 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or rapeseed oil.
  • Make-ahead: the mash (without trout and radishes) keeps 1–2 days in the fridge; reheat with a splash of hot water or a little oil.
