Steamed Potatoes

The most evenly cooked potatoes, firm throughout without being over-cooked, are small potatoes that are steamed. They make excellent potato salad but my favorite way of eating them is cold, sliced and dipped into dill mayonnaise.

I especially enjoy presentations where the food becomes an intrinsic part of the decor such as the way these potato slices, suggesting the scales of a fish, garnish the salmon.
