Potato Nests with Egg & Smoked Salmon

Mar 11, 2024

These spiralized potatoes are formed into nests and fried until crispy, golden brown. Served with a perfectly cooked egg and smoked salmon, this dish is ideal for any spring or Easter brunch.

Prep time: 15 mins • Cook time: 15 mins • Makes: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 potatoes, scrubbed and spiralized
  • 2 tablespoons Ghee (or avocado oil)
  • 8 eggs
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 oz. smoked salmon
  • Fresh dill, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

  1. Working in batches, heat half of the ghee, or oil, in a large nonstick skillet. Add half of the potato spirals and sauté until tender (about 5 minutes). Once tender form the spirals into four nests and crack an egg into each one.
  2. Cook the eggs, covered, over medium heat, until the whites set, and the yolk is cooked to your liking (about 3 minutes for runny yolks). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Repeat the process with the remaining oil, potatoes, and eggs.
  3. Top each nest with pieces of smoked salmon, garnish with dill, and serve with Lemon Dill Sauce, if desired – recipe below.
