Ingredients
Potatoes
- 4 medium white potatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
Toppings
- 8 tablespoons cream cheese
- 8 ounces smoked salmon
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 Persian cucumbers (shaved or sliced)
- 2 teaspoons capers
- Fresh dill for garnish
Instructions
- Boil potatoes: Place the potatoes in a pot and fill it with enough water to cover the potatoes by an inch. Salt the water with about a tablespoon of kosher salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 22 to 25 minutes.
- Drain and cool: Drain the potatoes using a colander and let them cool until they are comfortable to handle, about 10 minutes.
- Season and flavor: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Transfer the cooled potatoes to a mixing bowl, add the olive oil and everything bagel seasoning, and stir well to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Smash the potatoes: Arrange the potatoes on a small baking sheet. Using the bottom of a wide-bottomed glass, gently smash each potato to about ¾-inch thickness. Bake in the oven until the tops turn lightly golden and crispy, about 25 minutes.
- Assemble the bagel potatoes: Allow the smashed potatoes to cool slightly. Spread cream cheese generously on top of each piece, then layer with smoked salmon, slices of red onion, a few capers, shaved or sliced Persian cucumbers, and garnish with fresh dill sprigs before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt for cream cheese for a tangier flavor.
- For a spicier variation, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot sauce.
- These work well as appetizers or a light meal, perfect for brunch or entertaining.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently before adding toppings.
