List of Ingredients
12 sm red "c" size potatoes
1/3 lb smoked salmon, finely minced
2 tbsp red onions, finely minced
1 tbsp chives, finely minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest, finely chopped
1/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
dill sprigs for garnish
Recipe
Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer approximately 10-15 minutes until tender but not soft. Drain and run under cold water to stop cooking. Allow to cool (potatoes may be prepared up to 24 hours ahead). In a medium glass bowl, combine salmon, onion, chives, lemon juice, zest and sour cream. Mix well, cover and set aside. Once potatoes cool, slice each in half, lengthwise. With a melon baller, scoop out a small "well" in each. Remove a thin slice from the bottom of each half, so they will sit flat on the platter. Fill each potato with a small amount of salmon filling. Place on platter and top with a dollop of creme fraiche and a small sprig of dill. Serve at room temperature.
For variety, potato shells may be deep fried, or 1/4" slices may be used (steamed or fried) instead of shells. Also, 1/2" slices of cucumber may be scooped out and used instead of potato shells. Caviar may be used in place of dill for garnish.
