Smashed potatoes with salmon salad
Ingredients
Smashed potatoes
- 20 small potatoes
- Oil
- Salt
Salmon salad
- 200 g smoked salmon
- 150 ml crème fraîche
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp dill, finely chopped
- 2 stalks of chives, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
To serve
- Chives, to garnish
- Red-veined sorrel (optional)
Method
Salmon salad
- Finely chop the salmon and stir it together with the remaining ingredients.
- Season the salmon salad to taste with salt and pepper, and keep it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
Smashed potatoes
- Scrub the potatoes clean, but leave the skins on.
- Boil them in plenty of well-salted water for about 20 minutes, – or until tender.They must not overcook and fall apart, or they can’t be smashed, – but they should be tender enough that a fork slides in easily.*You can boil them the day before serving.
- Drain them well and leave them to dry completely on a tea towel.
- Toss the potatoes with a couple of tablespoons of oil, and season with a little salt.
- Place the potatoes on a sheet of baking parchment, well spaced apart, and smash them until they are nice and flat.Use the base of a glass or similar. The flatter they are, the crispier they’ll be.
- Brush the tops with a little oil, or give them a light coating of cooking spray.
- Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 40-45 minutes, conventional oven (top and bottom heat).*A little tip for extra crispness. If you have a baking steel, heat it in the oven as it preheats, then slide the parchment with the potatoes onto the hot steel, – this makes the undersides extra crisp. A pizza peel makes this easy.Alternatively, heat the baking tray in the oven as it preheats, and slide the potatoes on their parchment onto it. Again, a pizza peel makes this easy.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly or completely before topping them with salmon salad.
Serving
- Top the crisp smashed potatoes with salmon salad, and sprinkle with finely chopped chives and red-veined sorrel, if using.

Har du en anbefaling til et alternativt til laksesalat, da vi har en gæst der ikke spiser fisk
Hej Christina
Prøv med carpaccio og parmesan mayo + lidt grønt, serrano og burrata eller lignende 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Bruger du varmrøget eller koldrøget laks?
Hej Jonna
Her er der brugt koldrøget laks, men du kan sagtens bruge varmrøget, hvis du foretrækker det 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Hej. Synes det ser ud til at din røgede laks ikke er tynde skiver som man normalt køber. Det ligner små firkanter. Er jeg helt forkert på den?
Kan man lave flere plader af gangen i en varluftsovn ?
Hej Vibeke
Det kan du sagtens:)
Sænk temperaturen med ca. 10-15 grader når det er varmluft:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Kan denne lille ret evt. bruges som en forret? til Nytårs aften ?
Tænker lidt på de kolde kartofler
De bedste hilsner
Hanne
Hej Hanne
Det kan den sagtens ja, – der vil jeg beregne 3 pr person:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Kan man lave de knuste kartofler dagen i forvejen?
Hej Lisbeth
Det kan du sagtens, men de vil ikke beholde sprødheden:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
