    Mini potatoes (or baby potatoes) are so cute. These potato bites were inspired by my Warm Potato Salad recipe. Smoked salmon and dill pair so well together, creating yet another delicious potato dish with this combination was so much fun. You can never go wrong with the combination of salmon and potatoes.

    Fish and potatoes make such a great match. Fish and chips are a hit. Have you tried my fish cakes recipe? Perfect as an appetizer or main dish.

    Easy Smoked Salmon Potato Bites

    I love when recipes are easy to make, require minimal ingredients and look fancy. These smoked salmon party appetizers are just that. You will need:

    • mini potatoes
    • smoked salmon
    • olive oil
    • salt & pepper
    • dried dill
    • fresh dill
    • sour cream
    Sour cream and dill getting combined for the dip.

    When it comes to entertaining, the easier the better. I like to spend time with my guests, not get stuck in the kitchen. Delicious foods don’t have to be complicated. In fact, I find the simpler the better.

    Baked potatoes with sour cream is another love of mine. I also happen to love loaded potato skins. In fact, I do not know of one single potato dish I don’t love.

    Elegant Smoked Salmon Appetizers

    Let’s get this party started. These bite-sized potato and smoked salmon appetizers are super easy to make.

    • Wash the potatoes.
    • Bake with olive oil and seasonings until done.
    • Combine fresh dill and sour cream in a bowl.
    • Slice the smoked salmon into thin strips.
    • Cut the baked potatoes in half.
    • Top with salmon pieces.
    • Skewer into place.

    Super easy right? Told you! You can finish off this tasty appetizer as your guests are walking in the door.

    You can even leave a few potatoes on their own, for the people that might not like salmon. Potatoes dipped in sour cream and dill still make great potato appetizers.

    Suggestions / Recipe Tips

    • Mini potatoes are super cute. Any colour will work. You can also use fingerling potatoes. You can cook the potatoes ahead of time, and then warm them up just before assembling the appetizers.
    • Sour cream can be replaced with Greek yogurt.
    • Seasoning the potatoes with salt and pepper is simple and delicious. You can always use a seasoning blend. Try Italian or Greek for a different taste.
    • Fresh dill is perfect, especially for garnish.

    Can You Eat Smoked Salmon At Room Temperature?

    Yes, but you should not leave it out for hours. I would not leave it out in the hot weather for very long. It won’t spoil if it sits at room temperature for up to an hour. Always store it in the fridge.

    How To Serve Smoked Salmon

    There are so many ways to enjoy this delicious fish. Here are a few suggestions:

    Salmon with cream cheese makes a great bagel topping. Perfect for brunch, lunch and dinner too.

    Smoked salmon with cucumbers is the perfect light and healthy salad option. Have you ever tried cucumber noodles? So fun.

    Another great appetizer idea is stuffed cucumbers. Perfect for bbq parties all summer long.
