POTATO CAKES WITH SMOKED SALMON
I've done many versions of potato pancakes, in my life, but this has got to be the easiest. I think I shocked myself by making it with smash/potato flakes (this is the correct terminology for instant mashed potato granules), but there's always got to be a first time. And they taste wonderful, so there is no need to feel bad. But if having an ingredient like this in your store or cupboard makes you feel too trailer-trash for words, then go to some expensive health store and buy a packet of organic potato flakes instead. I do understand. I have to tell you that if you make these with 1 cup potato flakes and no flour or baking powder, you have the most stodgily fabulous squat little cakes to eat with a proper fried breakfast. These are mighty good for soaking up excess, though delicious, fats and juices though a more elegant version is required here. Serve them around at cocktail parties or lay out the component parts, adding a little bowl of creme fraiche, sour cream or smetana, on the table for an appetizer.

Steps:
- In a batter jug, whisk the eggs, milk, finely sliced spring onions/scallions and olive oil together.
- Stir in the smash/potato flakes, flour and baking powder and then finally the lemon juice.
- Heat a flat griddle, and drop tablespoon sized dollops of the mixture onto the hot griddle.
- Cook for about 30 seconds a side or until golden brown and firm enough at the sides to flip.
- Once you have made the pancakes, and they've cooled a little, tear off tiny strips of smoked salmon and arrange the small slices on each pancake.
- Decorate each salmon topped pancake with a tiny feather of dill.

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the onion and potato. Dust with the flour and mix to disperse it. Add the eggs, horseradish, lemon zest, fresh dill, salt, and pepper, and mix until well combined.
- In a large non-stick saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once the bubbles from the butter subside, spoon 3 heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture into the saute pan. Repeat, making 8 to 12 pancakes. Cook pancakes about 4 minutes on each side, assuring that both sides are well browned and the potato is cooked through. Reduce the heat of the pan if the potato cakes are browning too quickly in order to make sure the inside is cooked completely. Remove the cakes to a paper towel lined plate as they finish, and season with salt while hot. You can cover them with foil and keep in a 200 degrees F oven to stay warm until ready to serve.
- To serve, transfer potato cakes to a platter and dollop each one with creme fraiche. Top with a sprig of dill.

POTATO CAKES WITH SMOKED SALMON
Steps:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the speck, or bacon, to the hot pan. The pan needs to be very hot so that the speck is crispy. When cooked through and crispy, remove the speck and let drain on paper towels.
- Grate the potatoes on a mandoline adjusted to the julienne setting. Do not grate them ahead of time, or they will turn color. Wring the potatoes out with your hands to get rid of excess moisture. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, thyme, pepper, and speck mixing with your hands. Add flour to the mixture to bind it. Form the potato mixture into 4 patties.
- In the same skillet, add enough oil for frying, plus the 2 tablespoons butter. Heat over high heat until oil is very hot. Add the potato cakes, making sure there is at least 1/2-inch between them. Cook for several minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy on all edges, and cooked through in the middle. The amount of cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the potato cakes.
- Remove potato cakes from oil and let drain on paper towels. Season with salt while hot.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche, honey mustard, lemon juice, and horseradish. Add the cilantro and chives, and stir to combine. Just before serving, add the salad greens to the bowl, and toss.
- To plate, put 1 potato cake on each of 4 plates. Top each potato cake with 3 slices of smoked salmon. Add a pile of greens with dressing on top of the salmon. Sprinkle salads with pepper, and garnish with lime wedges on the side.
HORSERADISH DILL SAUCE
Great on smoked salmon, smoked trout, a juicy hamburger or roast beef! I love the Horseradish Dill Sauce from Annie Gunn's (a restaurant here in St. Louis. . .they serve it with their smoked seafood platter), so I made an attempt to recreate it here and it's not bad :)

SMOKED TROUT POTATO SALAD WITH DILL AND HORSERADISH
I've made this a couple of times recently to take to tapas style parties-served in small bowls, it's yummy (I think!) I think it serves round 12 like this. I use low fat products, but that's up to you.

Steps:
- Bring the potatoes to the boil and simmer around ten minutes or until just tender. Cool (I plunge the potatoes into cold water to do this).
- Mix together the next 8 ingredients and fold through the potatoes gently.
- Add the flaked trout and fold through gently.
- At this stage, I like to pop this in the frige for a few hours as I reckon the flavour improves with sitting.

Tips:
- For the best results, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
- Be sure to grate the potatoes finely. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overmix the potato mixture. Overmixing will make the potato cakes tough.
- When frying the potato cakes, be sure to use a non-stick skillet and cook them over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the potato cakes immediately with your favorite toppings. They are especially delicious with smoked salmon, sour cream, and dill.
