By DreiFromBK

F&W's Justin Chapple cooks shredded potatoes in a waffle iron until crisp, then tops them with smoked salmon, sour cream and dill.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds baking potatoes - peeled, coarsely shredded and squeezed dry
• 1 medium onion, shredded
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons chopped dill
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for brushing
• Smoked salmon, for serving
• Sour cream, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Heat an 8-inch waffle iron and preheat the oven to 200°. In 
a bowl, mix the potatoes, onion, eggs, flour, chopped dill, salt, baking powder and the 3 tablespoons of butter.
Brush the waffle iron with melted butter; spread one-fourth of the potato mixture onto it. Close and cook on high until the blini is golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to 
a rack in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Serve topped with smoked salmon and sour cream.
