Skip The Bagels And Put Smoked Salmon On This For A Crunchier Bite - Tasting Table

Hash brown patties provide a crunchy exterior and chewy interior that pair well with smoked salmon’s silky texture and cream cheese’s melty spread. The dish can be made using frozen hash browns and finished with cream cheese or crème fraîche, fresh herbs, and lemon juice. Capers and red onion, including pickled red onion, add classic salty brightness. Poached eggs and hollandaise can elevate the meal into an eggs Benedict-style combination. Avocado with lemon juice offers a lighter option, while spinach or tomatoes can add freshness. Hash browns also come in multiple forms, including skillet potato pancakes, latkes, and crispy rösti, all topped with smoked salmon.

"Crunchy and thick with a chewy fluffiness inside, hash brown patties lay a beautiful contrast against the smoked salmon's silky smoothness, as well as the cream cheese's melty spread. You can build this dish from frozen hash browns, and it will still feel like a restaurant-worthy creation. A spread of cream cheese or crème fraîche, a pinch of fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lemon are all you need for an elegant start to the morning."

"Classic toppings like capers, red onion, or pickled red onion all work beautifully. Smoked salmon is, without a doubt, one of the best ingredients to add excitement to your hash browns. Breakfast and brunch just got a lot more fun"

"Much like with bagels or biscuits, you can also take your smoked salmon-topped hash brown up a notch with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce, à la the classic eggs Benedict. Another breakfast staple that would pair beautifully with both hash browns and smoked salmon is avocado, which you can serve as slices drizzled with a bit of lemon juice."

"Another great thing about hash browns is that they come in more than just one form, even when they're paired with smoked salmon. If frozen patties aren't your thing, make a whole skillet potato-pancake-style, and top it off with smoked salmon. Or try making a classic latke recipe, or a perfectly crispy rösti."
