Craving a satisfying and flavorful meal that's also gluten-free? Look no further! 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. It's a sophisticated twist on comfort food that’s perfect for a weekend lunch, a casual dinner, or even a brunch gathering.

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.

Prepare to impress your family and friends with this unique and flavourful dish. Get ready to experience a delightful symphony of textures and tastes in every bite!

Ingredients

  • tablespoons capers rinsed
  • 0.5 cup crème fraîche sour
  • 0.5 small onion red thinly sliced
  • pounds russet potatoes (baking) ( 4 large)
  • 0.5 cup scallion greens finely chopped
  • 0.8 pound salmon smoked sliced
  • 2.5 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • tablespoons vegetable oil 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • paper towels
  • oven
  • spatula

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Peel potatoes and coarsely grate in a food processor. Stir together potatoes and scallions.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil with 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Scoop 3 (1/4-cup) mounds of potato mixture into skillet, flattening with a spatula to form 3 1/2- to 4-inch pancakes. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, pressing down occasionally on cakes with a metal spatula (to compact cakes and prevent them from breaking when turning), until golden brown and crisp on undersides, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn cakes over carefully and cook, pressing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 8 minutes more.
  4. Drain on paper towels, then arrange on a large baking sheet. Make more pancakes in same manner with remaining oil and butter, wiping skillet clean with paper towels between batches.
  5. Reheat cakes in oven 3 to 5 minutes, or until crisp. Make sandwiches with pancakes, salmon, onion, capers, and crème fraîche.
