Print Recipe

This smoked salmon potato pizza combines a crispy potato base with creamy herb cheese and smoky salmon for an unforgettable flavor experience. Perfect for a quick dinner with friends or a cozy family gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g potatoes (waxy recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 150g grated cheese (e.g., mozzarella or gouda)
  • 200g herb cream cheese
  • 150g smoked salmon (sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon dill (fresh or dried)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potato base: Peel the potatoes and grate them coarsely. Squeeze out the liquid thoroughly, preferably with a clean kitchen towel. Mix the squeezed potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 150g grated cheese, salt, and pepper. This mixture should hold together well and be slightly sticky. (5 minutes)
  2. Shape and bake the base: Preheat the oven to 200°C (or 180°C for fan ovens). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the potato mixture evenly on it and press it firmly into a 0.5-1 cm thick pizza base. Bake the base for 25-35 minutes until golden brown and crispy. It should sound firm when tapped. (35 minutes)
  3. Prepare the topping: While the base is baking, mix the herb cream cheese with 1 teaspoon of dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl until a homogeneous cream forms. The mixture should be creamy and well-seasoned to enhance the flavor. (5 minutes)
  4. Top the pizza: Remove the slightly cooled potato base from the oven and spread the cream cheese-dill mixture evenly on top. Make sure to spread the cream to the edges so that every bite has flavor. Artfully arrange the smoked salmon slices on the cream. (5 minutes)
  5. Serve: Optionally, you can place the topped potato pizza back in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 150°C to allow the flavors to meld slightly and warm the topping without cooking the salmon. Cut the pizza into pieces and serve warm. Garnish with fresh dill if desired. (10 minutes)

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure to squeeze the potatoes well to remove excess moisture, preventing a soggy base. Use a non-stick baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to avoid sticking and ease cleaning. Experiment with different cheese varieties for new flavor dimensions.
