Simple Ingredients For Smoked Salmon Potato Bites
I love it 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.
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.
Smoked Salmon Appetizers Are Easy To Make
Let’s get this party started. This mini baked potato recipe is 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 salmon pieces
- skewer into place
- serve with dill dip
- done
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.
