Instructions:
-
Prepare Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and slice thinly, cutting lengthways.
- Rinse the potatoes and shake dry.
- Place the crème fraîche or cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, big enough for both the potatoes and the cream.
- Gently melt the cream.
- Stir in the spring onions and season with half a teaspoon of salt and a generous grating of pepper.
- Add the potatoes and stir them around thoroughly so all the slices are coated with cream.
-
-
Cook Potatoes:
- Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally and checking that the bottom slices aren’t sticking and burning, for 15 minutes.
- Remove the lid.
- The potatoes will now be almost cooked, and there will be far more sauce.
- Give everything a good stir and remove from the heat.
-
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 360°F or 180°C.
-
Prepare Gratin Dish:
- Smear a 1.5 to two-litre capacity gratin dish with the butter.
-
Prepare Egg Mixture:
- Whisk the egg yolks with the milk.
- Chop the dill.
-
Assemble the Pie:
- Add one third of the potato mixture to the buttered dish and smooth it out.
- Scatter half the dill over the potatoes, season again with salt and pepper, and then cover with half the smoked salmon.
- Dribble over half the egg mixture.
- Make another layer exactly the same and then finish the pie with potato, arranging the top so the surface is smooth.
-
Bake:
- Place the dish in the oven and cook for 25 minutes until the top is patched with brown, and the pie is cooked through, the potato and salmon held in a creamy, dill custard.
