Crispy, Creamy and Made to Share

This potato rosti tart is a showstopper that feels elegant without being fussy. Crisp, golden potato on the outside, soft and savoury within, topped with cool whipped crème fraîche and rich smoked salmon. It is the kind of dish that works just as well for brunch, lunch, or an easy make-ahead starter when you have people coming over.

OMGhee plays a quiet but important role here. It gives the rosti that beautiful golden crunch while keeping the flavour clean and rich. Taking the time to draw out the moisture from the potatoes, then mixing the potato starch back through, is what gives these tart shells structure and crispness. It is a small step that makes a big difference.

The topping keeps things fresh and balanced. Lemon-zested crème fraîche whipped until light, hot-smoked salmon for depth, and a scattering of dill, chives and capers for brightness and bite. Serve them as individual tarts, or double the recipe and turn it into a larger tart for slicing and sharing.

This is one of those versatile recipes you will come back to again and again. Elegant enough for entertaining, but simple enough to make just because you feel like something a little special.
