Entertaining should be easy. Smoked Salmon Potato Appetizers will be the hit of your next party.
Baked mini potatoes, topped with smoked salmon alongside a simple sour cream and dill dip. This easy potato appetizer makes the best party potatoes. Your guests will LOVE them.
Are you a potato lover? I AM! You can never have too many potato dishes. From breakfast to party food, recipes with potatoes are always welcome and enjoyed.
Mini potatoes (or baby potatoes) are so cute. These baked potato appetizers were inspired from 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.
Speaking of fun appetizers, Grilled Shishito Peppers are sure to be a hit at your next party. Totally addictive, you won’t be able to eat just one.
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.
POTATO APPETIZER INGREDIENTS
I LOVE when recipes are easy to make and require minimal ingredients. These potato bites are just that. You will need:
- mini potatoes
- smoked salmon
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
- dried dill
- fresh dill
- sour cream
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.
Smoked salmon is one of those ingredients that happens to elevate any recipe. There are so many ways you can use it. Combine it with cucumbers too make a great stuffed appetizer, or use it to create this light and delicious cucumber salad.
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.
The more potato recipes in my life the better. That reminds me, my kids have been nagging me to make my mom’s potato soup recipe. They just might be in luck. We are in the comfort food season right now.

I’ve spent the whole weekend searching for a delicious appetizer to make for a holiday party with friends on Friday. I love how elevated this is as an appetizer and that fact that everyone will love these fresh flavors together! This is a wonderful idea from the traditional and tired holiday appetizers.

It does seem to be a hit for the holidays. Make lots…they disappear quickly.
