Preparation of the hay crust: Mix the flour and coarse salt, then cut the hay into the mixture using scissors. Gradually add the water and mix to form a slightly sticky dough. Roll it out to approximately 5mm thickness between two sheets of parchment paper to form a rectangle.
Place the trout fillets in the center of this rectangle, reforming each portion.
Seal the dough, ensuring the "seam" is on the bottom.
Place it on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (430°F) for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a sauté pan, combine the cream, horseradish, and cooked, peeled new potatoes. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce.
For serving, it's best to cut the crust using a serrated knife in front of your guests.
