Potato Rosti & Smoked Salmon Stack

This weeks cookbook challenge is potato, and I admit I was stumped for a minute. The only potato dishes that came to mind are quite boring and wouldn’t photograph well. I wanted to do something a little more interesting.The result is this very tasty Potato Rosti & Smoked Salmon Stack.

I made a variation of this dish with bacon, avocado and tomato for the little kids which they loved. You could even top these with some smoked chicken, roast garlic aioli and spinach for a lunch or dinner version.

Another great potato breakfast is the classic Spanish Omelette, Tortilla Espanola. It goes perfectly with a slice of hot buttered sourdough toast, especially when the sourdough is fresh from the bakery!
