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.
