My family loves smoked trout. We always make big batches when the family gathers and I love to bring home leftovers to play with in the kitchen. This recipe using smoked trout is very simple, yet very elegant.
First is the potato pancakes. These hash brown-like patties serve as the base for this dish and use grated russet potatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper. Making the pancake crispy requires removing liquid from the potatoes. I simply took handfuls of grated potato and squeezed out excess moisture over the sink. If you have kids, this could be a fun way for them to contribute in the kitchen!
