Preparation
- Step 1
Place potatoes in a medium pan, cover with water and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. When cool enough, slice into ¼-inch rounds.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, combine potatoes, red onion and celery. By hand, shred mackerel into pieces no larger than a raspberry; there should be about 1 cup. Add to salad.
- Step 3
Prepare mayonnaise: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, mustard, vinegar and large pinches of salt and grains of paradise. Beginning a drop at a time, whisk in oil. As it emulsifies, add oil a little faster, in a slow, steady stream. When mixture is thick, whisk in heavy cream.
- Step 4
Fold ⅓ cup mayonnaise into potato mixture. There should be just enough mayonnaise to coat ingredients; add more if necessary. Cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour. Adjust seasonings before serving, adding more salt or vinegar as needed.
Grains of paradise are at Adriana's Caravan in Grand Central Terminal, (212) 972-8804 ($6.50 for 2 ounces), and Kalustyan's, 123 Lexington Avenue, at 28th Street, (212) 685-3451 ($3.49 an ounce).
