This recipe is my go-to for a quick, elegant, and incredibly flavorful meal. I often make this when I have friends over—it's impressive but surprisingly easy to put together. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual weekend brunch. The smoky salmon adds a wonderful depth of flavor that complements the crispy potatoes beautifully!

Remember that one time I tried to roast potatoes without enough oil? Yeah, that was a disaster. They were dry as the Sahara Desert. Learn from my mistakes, people, use enough oil! This recipe strikes a balance between crispy, golden-brown potatoes and that oh-so-delicious smoked salmon. The fresh dill adds a delightful pop of freshness and color. I'm telling you this is one of those recipes that makes you feel like a culinary rockstar, even if it's a Tuesday night.

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial for perfectly crispy potatoes.
  2. Wash and scrub your potatoes thoroughly. I like to use Yukon Golds, but any starchy potato will work. Dont' forget to scrub those taters good!
  3. Cut the potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Aim for fairly uniform sizes to ensure even roasting, but don't stress too much about perfection. Some variation is okay!
  4. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Really get in there and coat those potatoes evenly—it's important for flavor!
  5. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Don't overcrowd the pan; this will help them get nice and crispy. If necessary, use two baking sheets.
  6. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, flipping them halfway through. You'll know they're ready when a fork easily pierces them.
  7. While the potatoes are roasting, prepare your smoked salmon. I generally just flake it gently with a fork, removing any excess skin or bones.
  8. Once the potatoes are cooked, gently toss them with the flaked smoked salmon and 1 tablespoon of fresh dill (or more, if you're feeling dill-icious!).
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Maybe with a nice glass of chilled white wine? Just a thought...

📝 Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
  • If you prefer a crispier potato, try roasting them at a higher temperature (425°F) for a shorter time (around 25 minutes).
  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  • You can substitute other types of potatoes if you prefer, but starchy ones are ideal for roasting.
