Garnish with dill and slice into 8 pieces (like a pizza).

POTATO-PARSNIP PANCAKES WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Mix crème fraîche, horseradish and 1 tablespoon parsley in small bowl. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)

• Divide potato mixture into 4 equal portions. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 potato portion to skillet; flatten to 5-inch round. Cook until golden brown on bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn pancake over and cook until brown on bottom and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to ovenproof platter and place in oven to keep warm.

POTATO PANCAKES WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degree F.
• In a small bowl mix together sour cream, dill and salt until well blended and put in refrigerator.
• Heat butter in large skillet over medium low heat. Add onions to pan, stirring occasionally until onions are softened, then sprinkle with brown sugar, and continue cooking, stirring until onions are tender and golden brown.

• Remove to a plate lined with paper towels and keep warm in oven, and repeat procedure until batter is gone, adding more oil as needed.
• Place pancakes on plate, and divide sour cream mixture, then onions, then salmon evenly among pancakes.

SHREDDED POTATO PANCAKES WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Peel half the potatoes, grate them coarse (preferably in a food processor), and press them between several thicknesses of paper towel to remove any excess moisture. In a large heavy skillet heat 1/4 cup of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking. In a bowl toss the grated potatoes with salt and pepper to taste, form them into 4 patties, and in the skillet cook the patties, tamping them down with a spatula, for 5 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the pancakes to paper towels to drain and keep them warm in a 200°F. oven. Make 4 more pancakes in the same manner with the remaining potatoes and oil and serve the pancakes with the smoked salmon and the sour cream.

TURNIP PANCAKES TOPPED WITH COD AND SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Place the turnips and ginger in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Add the sesame oil and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the turnips are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Return the turnips to the pan and set over low heat until dry, 7 to 8 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.
• Remove the turnips from the heat. Add the butter and mash with a hand masher until the turnips are slightly lumpy. Stir in the salt, pepper to taste and the flour. Set aside to cool.
• Shape the turnip mixture into 8 3-inch-wide patties. Dust with cornmeal. Cover with a towel and refrigerate for 1 hour. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, steam the cod fillet until done, about 10 minutes. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Spray a large nonstick skillet with olive oil. Heat over medium heat until hot. Add as many of the pancakes as will fit without overcrowding. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a heated serving platter and keep warm until all of the pancakes are cooked. Top each cake with a piece of cod. Coil the strips of smoked salmon and set 1 atop each piece of cod. Sprinkle minced scallions over all. Serve immediately.
