📌 Potato Roll with Smoked Salmon and Herb Cream Cheese
Posted 23 April 2026 by: Admin
This roll is the kind of thing everyone imagines is reserved for catering buffets or other people’s sophisticated brunches. Too elaborate, too fragile, too risky to make yourself. In reality? It’s less technical than a quiche and takes 30 minutes of active work.

Ingredients :
- Potatoes — Choose Bintje or Monalisa — varieties that grate well without being too floury. The key: squeeze them well in a tea towel to remove the water. If you skip this step, your base will stay soft and refuse to roll properly.
- Smoked salmon — No need to buy the most expensive kind. Classic smoked salmon is enough. Thin slices slide better and roll up more easily than thick ones. Take it out of the fridge 10 minutes before filling — it’s more flexible at room temperature.
- Herb cream cheese — Boursin, Tartare, or Philadelphia mixed with fresh chives — whatever you have on hand. Thick cream loosens the texture, making the layer easier to spread and lighter on the palate. You can also use Greek yogurt if you want something fresher.
- Egg + shredded cheese — This is the binder for your base. Without them, the grated potatoes won’t form a cohesive crust — they’ll just stay in a heap on the tray. One egg is enough for 1 kg of potatoes; there’s no need for two.
