Author Notes
In the past, horseradish was something relegated to a symbolic presence on the passover seder plate. Over time, it has become an apt performer for me adding it's unique pungency to cut through other strong flavors. Horseradish is clearly the star in this one as part of a creamy dressing that coats the duck fat roasted potatoe potatoe salad as well as in the form of horseradish mustard for the deviled egg topping. Even my wife, a horseradish hater, liked the potato salad. This dish incorporates smokey flavors with smoked paprika on the roasted potatoes and serving this with topped with delicate smoked sable. Note that if your crème fraiche is very thick it can be thinned with some sour cream, yogurt or olive oil. —foodfighter
