  • 4 tbsp cold‑pressed grape seed oil

  1. 1.

    Wash the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 20‑25 minutes. Drain, peel, and finely mash with a fork in a bowl.

    Whisk together oil, apple cider vinegar, and broth in a salad bowl. Gradually stir this mixture into the mashed potatoes to form a sauce, seasoning with salt, pepper, and sugar.

    Rinse the salad and pat dry. Spread it on plates.

  7. 7.

    Wash the apple, peel, core, and slice into thin rounds. Cut the rounds into fine strips.

    Scatter egg pieces, dill, and apple strips over the salad. Slice smoked salmon into strips and add on top. Drizzle the vinaigrette sauce over everything and serve immediately.
