Crispy Potatoes with Salmon & Cream Cheese
Treat yourself and your guests to these luxurious crispy whole potatoes filled with creamy cheese and topped with delicate slices of VÅRLAKS salmon. Finished with fresh herbs, this appetizer is truly irresistible!
Ingredients:
4 small, firm potatoes (whole, well-scrubbed)
150g VÅRLAKS salmon (thinly sliced, smoked or cured)
100g cream cheese
Oil for frying
Salt, to taste
Fresh herbs (chives, dill, microgreens), for garnish
Steps:
- Prepare the potatoes:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them well. Keep the skin on for extra crunch. Using a knife, make a small slit on top of each potato to later fill with cream cheese. - Fry the potatoes:
Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the potatoes, turning them occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown (about 8-10 minutes, depending on the size). Remove them and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately. - Fill the potatoes:
Let the potatoes cool slightly and then carefully cut a hollow into each one. Fill each potato with a spoonful of softened cream cheese. - Top with salmon and garnish:
Place a slice of VÅRLAKS salmon on top of each filled potato. Garnish with fresh herbs like chives, dill, or microgreens for added flavor and a beautiful finish. - Serve:
Serve these luxurious potato bites warm, with creamy cheese and flavorful salmon, for the perfect bite-sized treat.
The combination of crispy potato, creamy cheese, and savory salmon makes this a sensational snack. With a fresh touch of herbs, it’s the perfect indulgent appetizer for any occasion.
