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.
MAKING SMOKED SALMON PARTY POTATOES
Let’s get this party started. These baked potato bites are super easy.
- 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 smoked salmon
- skewer into place
- serve with dip
- DONE!
Super easy right? Told you! You can be finishing off this tasty mini potato recipe 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 smoked salmon. These mini potatoes dipped in sour cream and dill still make GREAT potato appetizers
So, next time you need a new and fun dish for your guests, give these Smoked Salmon Potato Appetizers a try. **HINT** make LOTS! These were devoured in a flash.

This is absolutely brilliant! I love how you’ve taken a bar appetizer ingredient and turned it something so gourmet. I never would have thought to use a roasted potato like this! It is such an easy appetizer to make, I don’t think I could throw another party without it!
Homemade & Yummy

Marisa Franca
Now that we are in the same area as our family we are planning on lots of entertaining! I’m tired of the old stuff I used to make and this is so unusual and tasty the family would love it. Sour cream with dill is the perfect dip for the smoked salmon and mini-potatoes. I may have mentioned this, but our family goes crazy over smoked salmon. If we were to give each one a portion they want we’d spend a fortune. With these appetizers they get the taste of smoked salmon plus a yummy potato. Can’t wait to make this.
Homemade & Yummy
We really enjoy these, in fact we even ate them for dinner after the recipe shoot. So easy to make, and we do love potatoes ALL ways. Perfect little bites of goodness.
Marisa Franca
This is such a great appetizer idea. First of all we love smoked salmon. I can’t keep it around because the grandsons because they’ll pig out and eat it plain. But as an appetizer with the small potatoes, it would be great and it’d go further. And adding the dill to the appetizer is the perfect addition. I’ll be making these soon. We’re having several family get togethers.
Homemade & Yummy
These are super easy to make and so delicious. I have a hard time not eating them as I assemble them for the guests. Happy Holidays.
Debra

So, I think I know what I will suprise them with at my next party – these smoked salmon potato appetizers! I can already imagine how happy they will be!
Homemade & Yummy
HAHAHA…well I know WE love them. In fact, I have a hard time not to eat too many as I assemble them.
Trish
I love how you combined the classic flavors of smoked salmon and dill with potato and sour cream. GENIUS! I know this would be a hit at our Christmas Eve gathering this year. I’ve saved it to make!
Homemade & Yummy
ENJOY…..we LOVE this recipe. I have made it several times, and my neighbour is making it for 2 different holiday parties too.
Cheese Curd In Paradise
Smoked salmon is my favorite. I love when I go to a party and it is served. These are great bites and I would be thrilled to see them as a party nibble! Pinning this recipe for later!
Homemade & Yummy
We love these little delicious bites. Hope you give this recipe a try.

Veena Azmanov
I agree entertaining should be stress-free. These appetizers would be perfect to serve guests and they are so easy to make too. I bet they were gone instantly. We love anything with salmon or potatoes.
Homemade & Yummy
Oh yes, these disappear in a flash. Make lots. I have trouble not eating them as I assemble them for the guests.
Dana
Omg. Okay. First of all, I am obsessed with smoked salmon. Pairing it with dilly flavor is a classic move, but with potatoes too! That is so innovative. I’ve never seen anything like this. I usually find potatoes to mask a lot of other flavors because they’re so hearty and starchy, but smoked salmon—as delicate as it is—does a great job at standing out with it’s crave-worthy smokiness.
I need smoked salmon. Stat. 🙂
Homemade & Yummy
HAHHA…my neighbour has already said she is making these for 2 upcoming parties.
Jolina
I agree, entertaining SHOULD be easy. We’re guilty of stressing out though. But lately we’ve learned to chill out a little bit. Just a little lol. These apps look so good! I bet these would be the first to disappear.
Homemade & Yummy
Well I have a hard time not eating them all as I assemble them for the guests. They do not last long that is for sure.
Lisa
You’ve essentially put all of my favorite things into one tempting bite. I love the crispy skin you’ve gotten on the potatoes and the salmon looks positively luscious. Also, kudos for not making it overly complex in the assembly — having the sour cream as a dip instead of delicately balancing it on each individual hors d’oeuvre is sheer genius. This would be great for our next cocktail party. Thank you!
Homemade & Yummy
I know your guest will love them. I have a hard time not eating them all as I assemble them. As for the dip on the side….so good. Your guests can decide how much they want. I always take lots.
