Salt to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Peel and roughly chop potatoes, cook in a pan of boiling water until tender, drain, mash and cool.                                      

Strain tinned tuna and place in a large bowl.                               

Pick flat leaf parsley and finely chop with capers.
