Potato and Salmon Puff Pastry is a savory dish full of flavor, perfect to serve as an appetizer for Christmas Eve. It’s a classic that combines the sweetness of potatoes with the saltiness of salmon. I use smoked salmon, but if you prefer, you can also choose fresh salmon for a more delicate taste, adding stracchino cheese and in less than 35 minutes I’ve made a really delicious tart.
If you like puff pastry savory pies, I recommend trying the puff pastry with ham and potatoes and the stuffed puff pastry pizza. The potato and salmon puff pastry is perfect if you are looking for quick ideas and to make a good impression. Be sure to save the recipe and follow me on Facebook and Instagram.

How to make Potato and Salmon Puff Pastry
Peel the potatoes, then cut them into medium-small cubes that are fairly uniform (to ensure even cooking).
Blanch them in salted water for 5-6 minutes, then drain them into a bowl and set aside. Roll out the puff pastry on a baking tray covered with parchment paper, and prick it with a fork.
Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and then add the smoked or fresh salmon (according to your preference), and also add the stracchino cheese.
Fold the edges, brush them with egg, and decorate with seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 30 minutes on the lower rack until golden brown. Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of pepper if you like.
