These Smoked Salmon and Mashed Potato Fritters make a beautiful, easy and delicious appetizer or meal when entertaining.
You’ll always catch these on my brunch menu after a holiday gathering or dinner party because they are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.
Fried to golden perfection and topped with Heinen’s premium smoked salmon, sour cream and chives, each bite features a delicate combination of flavors and textures!
