SMOKED WHITEFISH DIP
When I was living in New Jersey, I would frequent the Jewish delis in New York City and I always had to order the whitefish dip. Now that I've moved back down south, I wanted to create my own version of the delicious dip. You can find smoked whole whitefish or fillets in the seafood department of most grocery stores.

Steps:
- Line 2 large baking sheets with plastic wrap or waxed paper. Cook potatoes in boiling salted water until very tender, about 25 minutes. Drain. Mash potatoes. Transfer 4 cups potatoes to large bowl (reserve remainder for another use).
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with potatoes. Cool.
- Add flaked whitefish to potato mixture; stir to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in egg. Using floured hands, roll mixture by tablespoonfuls into balls; flatten to 1/2-inch thickness. Transfer fish cakes to prepared baking sheets.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium heat. Dust fish cakes with flour. Working in batches and adding more butter and oil to skillet as needed, add cakes to skillet and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer fish cakes to clean baking sheets. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Before serving, rewarm fish cakes in 350°F oven until heated through, about 8 minutes.)

- Place 1 hot fish cake on each toast round. Arrange on platter. Drain excess liquid from Cucumber Salsa. Spoon small amount of salsa atop each fish cake; serve.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality smoked whitefish. Look for fish that is firm and has a delicate, smoky aroma.
- If you can't find smoked whitefish, you can also use smoked salmon or trout. Just be sure to adjust the seasoning accordingly.
- If you don't have any cucumber rounds, you can also use crackers, bread, or bagel chips.
- To make the horseradish cream, simply mix together horseradish, sour cream, and lemon juice. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
