Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by boiling the scrubbed potatoes in a pot of lightly salted water. Cover the pot, bring it to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. Overcooking may cause them to fall apart, so watch carefully.
2. 2.
   While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dill cream. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with the chopped dill and lemon zest. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated, creating a smooth, fragrant cream. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary with a pinch of salt if desired.
3. 3.
   Once the potatoes are done, drain them and allow them to cool slightly. Carefully slice them in half and arrange them on a serving plate, cut side up. This will allow the potatoes to absorb the flavors from the topping.
4. 4.
   Gently drape slices of smoked salmon over each potato half. The salmon should look delicate and slightly draped. If the salmon breaks, simply layer it artistically to maintain its appealing look.
5. 5.
   Finally, spoon a small dollop of dill cream onto each salmon-topped potato. The cream should complement the smoky richness of the salmon with its bright and fresh flavors. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm potatoes with cool, silky toppings.
