Irish Potato Cakes with Smoked Salmon (SHELLFISH-FREE)

Ingredients

• 4 cups Potatoes, mashed
• 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 ounces Smoked salmon (freshwater source)
• 1/4 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 4 cups of mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter (melted), 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
2. 2Mix these ingredients together with your hands or a sturdy spoon until a cohesive dough forms. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
3. 3Shape each portion of dough into a small cake, about 1/2 inch thick. You should have 8 potato cakes.
4. 4Heat a lightly oiled griddle or a 10-inch frying pan over medium heat, which is about 325°F (160°C).
5. 5Carefully place the potato cakes onto the hot griddle or frying pan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and feel firm to the touch. The total cooking time will be 10 to 14 minutes.
6. 6While the potato cakes are cooking, gently flake the 4 ounces of smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces. Prepare to serve the cakes immediately after cooking.
7. 7To serve, place one cooked potato cake on each plate. Top each cake with a portion of the flaked smoked salmon, a dollop of 1/4 cup sour cream, and a sprinkle of 1 tablespoon fresh dill.
