This snack leans into early-spring American flavors with a fresh, stylish twist: crisp smashed baby potatoes topped with silky smoked trout, a lemony dill yogurt, and quick-pickled radishes for brightness. Dill ties everything together with its cool herbal lift, while the contrast of warm potatoes and chilled toppings makes the whole plate feel seasonal, elegant, and deeply snackable.

Ingredients (for 2)

Preparation

  1. Step 1 - 🥔💧🔥
    Place the baby potatoes in a small pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until fork-tender, then drain and let them steam dry for 2 minutes.
  2. Step 2 - 🌸🥣🍯
    In a small bowl, toss the thinly sliced radishes with apple cider vinegar, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3 - 🥣🌿🍋
    Stir together the Greek yogurt, chopped fresh dill, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, half the lemon zest, and a pinch of black pepper. Chill until ready to use.
  4. Step 4 - 🍳🥔👋
    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Gently smash the cooked potatoes to about 1/2-inch thick.
  5. Step 5 - ✨🥔🧂
    Cook the smashed potatoes for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Season with the remaining kosher salt and black pepper.
  6. Step 6 - 🐟🥄🌮
    Transfer the crispy potatoes to a plate. Top each with dill yogurt, flaked smoked trout, and a few pickled radish slices.
  7. Step 7 - 🌿🍋🍽️
    Finish with extra dill fronds, microgreens, the remaining lemon zest, and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Serve right away while warm and crisp.

Additional

For an extra-photogenic finish, use a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped to add neat dollops of dill yogurt. If smoked trout is hard to find, hot-smoked salmon works beautifully. Want more crunch? Add a few shaved celery leaves or crisp fried capers on top.
