Instructions
- 1.Boil the Jersey Royal potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and let them cool slightly.
- 2.While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the blini batter. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- 3.In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- 4.Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 5.Roughly chop half of the cooked Jersey Royal potatoes. Gently fold the chopped potatoes into the blini batter.
- 6.Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan to form small blinis. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Keep warm.
- 7.While the blinis are cooking, prepare the dill crème fraîche. In a bowl, combine the crème fraîche, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- 8.Slice the remaining Jersey Royal potatoes into thin rounds.
- 9.To assemble the blinis, top each blini with a slice of smoked salmon, a slice of Jersey Royal potato, and a dollop of dill crème fraîche. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
- 10.Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips
For extra flavour, you can add a small amount of grated Jersey mature cheddar to the blini batter.
If you don't have time to make your own blinis, you can use store-bought mini pancakes or crackers as a base.
For a vegetarian option, omit the smoked salmon and add a roasted vegetable of your choice, such as asparagus or beetroot.
Use a non-stick pan to prevent the blinis from sticking.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the blinis, cook in batches.
