A riff on a bagel with lox and cream cheese. If you’re not feeling the smoked salmon, simply omit it. And if your market stocks jarred everything spice, use that in place of the homemade mix we’ve offered here.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    6 Servings

Ingredients

2 pounds Peewee or peanut potatoes
Kosher salt
½ cup crème fraîche
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
¼ cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
5 small radishes, trimmed, cut into wedges
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
4 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon, torn into small pieces
¼ cup chopped dill

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover; season with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until tender, 10–15 minutes. Drain; let cool.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, mix crème fraîche, lemon zest, and ¼ cup oil in a large bowl. Add potatoes and radishes and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Combine dried garlic, dried onions, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and sea salt in a small bowl.

    Step 4

    To serve, layer potatoes with pieces of smoked salmon, spice mix, and dill on a platter and drizzle with more oil.

    Step 5

    Do Ahead: Potato salad can be dressed 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Add dill, spice mix, and smoked salmon just before serving.
