  Smoked salmon 10 Ounce (275 Gram)
  Eggs 6 , beaten
  Milk 1⁄4 Pint (150 Milliliter Or 2/3 Cup)
  Double cream 1⁄2 Pint (300 Milliliter)
  Chopped dill 45 Milliliter (3 Tablespoon)
  Bottled capers 30 Milliliter, drained (2 Tablespoon)
  Ground black pepper To Taste
  Potato 4 Ounce, diced (115 Gram)
  All purpose flour 8 Ounce, sifted (225 Gram)
  Butter 4 Ounce, diced (115 Gram)
  Egg 1⁄2 , beaten (For The Pastry)
  Chilled water 2 Teaspoon (10 Milliliter)
  Salt To Taste

1. To make the pastry, cook the diced potato in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain well through a colander and return the potato to the pan. Mash until smooth and set aside to cool while you make the pastry.
2. Place the flour in a large bowl and rub or cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Beat in the potatoes and egg. Bring the mixture together, adding chilled water if needed.
3. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a deep 23cm/ 9in round, loose-based, fluted flan tin (quiche pan). Chill for 1 hour.
4. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/ Gas 6 with a heavy baking sheet placed in it. To make the filling, roughly chop the smoked salmon into bitesize pieces and set aside.
5. Using a wooden spoon, beat the eggs, milk and cream in a bowl. Stir in the chopped dill and capers and season with pepper. Add the chopped salmon and stir to combine.
6. Remove the pastry case from the refrigerator, prick the base well with a fork and pour the salmon mixture into it. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the filling is just set and the crust is golden brown. Serve warm with mixed salad leaves and some dill.
