Name: Smoked-Mackerel Potato Salad
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: Makes 4 (light main course) or 6 (side dish) servings
Ingredients: 2 pound Yukon Gold potatoes; 3 tablespoons cider vinegar; 3 tablespoons grainy mustard; 2 1/2 teaspoons sugar; 1/3 cup olive oil; 1/2 pound smoked mackerel, skin discarded and fish flaked into 1/2-inch-wide pieces; 4 scallions, chopped (1 cup); 1/3 cup chopped dill

Adding large flakes of pleasantly pungent smoked mackerel to a straightforward potato salad gives it a deeper, more savory dimension. Smoked mackerel comes in herbed and peppered varieties as well as plain; all of them will work well here—especially the peppered version.

Cooks' note:

Smoked mackerel is available at specialty foods shops and many supermarkets, and by mail order from Ducktrap River of Maine (800-828-3825; ducktrap.com).

Recipe notes

Caramelized Onion Pasta

Turn humble onions into this thrifty yet luxe pasta dinner.

Vodka Gochujang Pasta

This pasta has some really big energy about it. It’s so extra, it’s the type of thing you should be eating in your bikini while drinking a magnum of rosé, not in Hebden Bridge (or wherever you live), but on a beach on Mykonos.

Our Favorite French Onion Soup

Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.

Smothered Italian Sausage

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

Béchamel Sauce

This classic 15-minute sauce is your secret weapon for homemade mac and cheese, chowder, lasagna, and more.

White Bean Turkey Chili

A dash of cocoa powder adds depth and richness to the broth of this easy turkey chili.

Golden Mushroom Soup With Orzo & a Pat of Butter

This is the type of soup that, at first glance, might seem a little…unexciting. But you’re underestimating the power of mushrooms, which do the heavy lifting.

Baked Butter Paneer

I should address the awkward truth that I don’t use butter here but cream instead. You could, if you’re a stickler for tradition (and not a heretic like me), add a big slab of butter to the finished curry.
