Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Potatoes
  • 4 oz Smoked Salmon
  • 4 oz Dairy-Free Cream Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill
  • 1 tsp Lemon Zest
  • 2 Green Onions
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Place the 1.5 lbs of potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
  2. 2While the potatoes are still warm, add the 4 oz of dairy-free cream cheese, 4 oz of smoked salmon (flaked into small pieces), 2 tbsp of fresh dill, 1 tsp of lemon zest, and 2 green onions (thinly sliced).
  3. 3Add the 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp of black pepper to the potato mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
  4. 4Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small cake, about 3 inches in diameter. Lightly dust each cake with the 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. 5Pour the 2 tbsp of olive oil into a large skillet and heat over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the potato cakes into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and heated through.
  6. 6Remove the potato cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve the potato cakes hot.
