Instructions

Prep the Potatoes: Grate the potatoes and sprinkle with half the salt. Let them rest for 15 minutes to draw out moisture. Squeeze dry using a clean towel.
Mix the Base: In a bowl, combine potatoes, egg, onion, garlic, flour, baking powder, remaining salt, and pepper. Mix until even.
Cook the Potato Crust: Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Press the mixture into a 10-inch round and cook covered for 6–7 minutes until golden brown.
Flip and Crisp: Carefully flip using a plate, return to pan, and cook another 6–7 minutes uncovered until both sides are crispy. Keep warm in a low oven (200°F).
Assemble the Pizza: Let crust cool slightly. Spread with sour cream or cream cheese. Top with smoked salmon, onion, capers, and herbs.
Finish and Serve: Add lemon zest or juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use freshly grated potatoes for best texture—frozen ones can turn soggy. Letting the base cool slightly before topping prevents melting. Try swapping sour cream for Greek yogurt or topping with poached eggs for brunch!
