Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 4 ounces hot-smoked salmon, broken into flakes
Mix-ins
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onion greens
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Seasonings and Serving
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Extra sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil and cook potatoes and onions: In a large cast iron frying pan over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add the diced potatoes and chopped onion, stirring to coat them evenly with the oil. Spread the mixture out in an even layer in the pan and sprinkle with a little salt.
- Sauté until browned: Cook the potatoes and onions for about 15-20 minutes, using a metal spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan and turn the potatoes every 2-3 minutes. Continue until the potatoes are mostly browned and cooked through.
- Prepare the smoked salmon mixture: While the potatoes cook, gently combine the hot-smoked salmon flakes, sour cream, horseradish, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, and minced parsley in a bowl. Mix well to integrate all the flavors.
- Combine salmon mixture with potatoes: When the potatoes are cooked, turn off the heat. Fold the salmon mixture into the potatoes until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Let the hash rest: Let the hash sit in the pan for 5 minutes to allow the residual heat to warm the salmon mixture through gently.
- Serve: Before serving, optionally sprinkle with fresh lemon juice. Serve the hash hot with additional sour cream on the side and runny eggs if desired for a complete meal.
