Ingredients
Potato Tartine:
- 1 large russet potato peeled and coarsley grated lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons clarified butter or vegetable oil
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Toppings:
- 4 ounces soft goat cheese room temperature
- 1½ tablespoons finely sliced chives
- ½ garlic clove grated with a microplane
- zest of ½ lemon
- thinly sliced smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons drained capers
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- ½ hard-boiled egg finely chopped
- finely sliced chives for garnishing
Instructions
- Prepare Potato Tartine: Working quickly (as the potato will quickly begin to oxidize), grate the potato lengthwise using the big holes of a box grater. Place the grated potato in a clean kitchen linen and squeeze and discard any liquid into the sink. Transfer to a bowl, season the grated potato generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Heat the clarified butter in a 8 to 10 inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the grated potato and shape roughly, using a spatula, into a large circle. Press on the mixture with the back of a spoon to compact it, cover and cook gently for 8 to 10 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip carefully to other side and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove to cooling rack and allow to cool until barely lukewarm or room temperature.
- Prepare Herbed Goat Cheese: Combine goat cheese, lemon zest, and garlic in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir in fresh chives. Set aside. Season the chopped red onion and chopped hard-boiled egg individually with salt.
- Assemble Tartine: Once potato cake has cooled, spread the goat cheese mixture on the top. Layer the smoked salmon directly over this and sprinkle with the red onion, hard-boiled egg, and capers. Garnish with freshly chopped chives. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
