Best Savory Pancake – Smoked salmon and potato spice it up

Smoked salmon potato pancake gets a delicious addition of red onion and sour cream. Roni Lehti

Sauvulohe has a place in the heart of almost every Finn.

When you combine smoked salmon with two other favorite dishes of Finns, you can only get a treat. A pancake and a potato guarantees that.

We usually eat the pancake sweet with strawberry jam and whipped cream or ice cream, but you shouldn’t forget the salty pancake. It is quick help when you need good food easily and quickly.

– When we want an easy treat, we often make a pancake. It doesn’t take much cooking skills, chef Risto Mikkola laugh.

That doesn’t mean that a pancake is any less of a treat. In fact, Mikkola admits to being a pancake person, like many other Finns.

This time, Mikkola poured the pancake batter into small serving dishes, but a good result will also come if the pan is baked on a baking sheet.

However, a pancake baked in a serving dish is a little luxury when you combine it with pickled red onion and dill methane.

– Smoked salmon potato pancake is suitable for both brunch and dinner parties. The dose will be downright salon-worthy, Mikkola advises.

If you don’t have muffin tins or trays in your cupboard, don’t worry. Small oven-proof cups or coffee cups also work as serving dishes, as long as you grease them first.

Pancake batter gets its juiciness from boiled potatoes, which are mashed, i.e. mashed through a strainer, pressing into the batter.

The best end result comes from floury potatoes, but if you don’t happen to have them in the cupboard, a firm potato will work too.

Mikkola’s favorite potatoes are the floury Lapland Puikula and firm Siikli.

You should make a bigger batch of red onion pickle at once, because it gives a good taste to many other dishes.
