Onion

Garlic

Smoked salmon

6 ounces, chopped

Fresh dill

2 tablespoons, chopped

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Sour cream

1/2 cup, for serving

Instructions

1. Begin by grating the potatoes and placing them in a clean kitchen towel. Twist the towel to squeeze out as much liquid as possible; this step is crucial for achieving crispy hashbrowns.
2. In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
4. Spread the drained grated potatoes evenly in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for about 10 minutes, allowing the bottom to become golden and crispy.
5. Carefully flip the hashbrowns using a large spatula and cook the other side for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
6. Once both sides are crispy, gently fold in the chopped smoked salmon and fresh dill. Stir to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
7. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring to enhance the flavors of the salmon and herbs.
8. Serve the hashbrowns hot, topped with a generous dollop of sour cream and a wedge of lemon for an extra burst of flavor.
