Description
The Smoked Salmon Potato Rosti Stack combines crispy potato rostis, smoky salmon, and a luscious dill cream sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
- 200g smoked salmon, sliced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers (optional)
Instructions
- Start by peeling the large potatoes and grating them using a box grater. Grating them allows the potatoes to cook quickly and evenly. After grating, transfer the potatoes to a clean dish towel. Carefully twist the towel to squeeze out as much moisture as possible; this step is crucial for achieving crispy rostis, as excess moisture can lead to sogginess.
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the grated potatoes to the pan. Season generously with salt and pepper. Using a spatula, press down on the potatoes, flattening them into a crisp layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip the rostis carefully and cook for the same amount of time on the other side. If needed, you can cook the rosti in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which helps maintain the heat necessary for crisping.
- While the potato rosti is cooking, take a small mixing bowl and combine the sour cream with lemon juice and lemon zest. Add the chopped dill and chives, mixing everything until well blended. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper—this creamy sauce adds a delightful contrast to the warm, crispy potatoes and smoky salmon.
- Once the rostis are perfectly golden and crispy, remove them from the pan and place them on serving plates. Stack two rostis per plate, creating a delightful tower. Layer the smoked salmon slices on top, then add a generous dollop of the dill cream sauce. For a finishing touch, garnish with additional dill, freshly chopped chives, and capers if desired. Serve immediately and watch as your guests are wowed by this impressive creation!
Notes
Ensure that when grating the potatoes, you squeeze out as much moisture as possible for crispiness.
