These Scallion Potato Pancake and Smoked-Salmon Sandwiches are a delightful combination of crispy, golden-brown potato pancakes and the luxurious taste of smoked salmon.

Imagine biting into a warm, savory pancake, infused with the fresh, subtle bite of scallions. These aren't your average potato pancakes; they're cooked to crispy perfection, offering a delightful contrast to the creamy crème fraîche and the rich, smoky salmon. The addition of thinly sliced red onion and briny capers provides a welcome sharpness that cuts through the richness, creating a balanced and utterly delicious flavour profile.
Don't be intimidated by the slightly longer prep time listed; the majority of that is simply allowing the potatoes to release some of their moisture, ensuring those extra-crispy pancakes. The active cooking time is relatively quick, especially with the help of a food processor to easily grate the potatoes. This recipe is easily customizable. Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice to the crème fraîche for extra brightness or substitute dill for the scallions if you prefer.
