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
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.
- Serve with dill dip.
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.
If you love tacos, then these egg tacos are for you. Great for any meal of the day.
If you are a Jamie Oliver fan, give this easy salmon plate a try. Made in minutes. Faster than takeout and much healthier too.
It is the perfect addition as a crostini topper.
A smoked salmon sandwich takes the classic tomato and cheese to a new level of deliciousness.
These are sure to be a hit at any party. They work on the brunch menu too. If you love easy and elegant appetizer recipes, you will want to give these cheese stuffed dates a try, they can double as a dessert.

I love potatoes in all shapes and forms! This is such a fun appetizer, I’d definitely have to make lots because I might eat most of it by myself before I serve it haha. I love the quick cook time for these too! Would I be able to make it the day before? I’d love to bring it to a work potluck.
Homemade & Yummy
For sure. It is best eaten warm. You can quickly assemble them at the even too.

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.
