🍽️What to serve with healthy smoked salmon potato salad

You don't really need anything else for brunch, I say! This is an all-in-one dish.

🥡What to do with leftover smoked salmon:

If you have leftover smoked salmon, here are some ways to use it up:

• Cream cheese and smoked salmon is a classic combo: get some gluten-free crackers or gluten-free toast, smeared with cream cheese and top with smoked salmon pieces
• A quick "sushi roll" - not traditional sushi of course, but take small sticks of cucumber, rolled up in a sheet of smoked salmon, lined with rice. Dip in gluten-free soy sauce. Messy and delicious😋
• Speedy smoked salmon and eggs - boil a couple eggs (medium soft) and serve straight up in a bowl with smoked salmon, some fresh dill and a grind of salt and pepper on top. Keep gluten-free toast standing by for dipping too

⏲️How long does smoked salmon last?

One you thaw a package of smoked salmon, use it up within 3 days. Keep any leftover smoked salmon in an air-tight container in the fridge.

And don't re-freeze previously frozen smoked salmon. The results are not pretty.

🥚How to boil an egg in water without the shell

Here's how to make perfect boiled eggs (out of the shell):

1. Heat about 4 cups of water in a large pot until a rolling boil
2. Add about 2 tablespoon of white vinegar to the water. This keeps the egg together in the water
3. Working 1 egg at a time, crack the egg into a small bowl. Ease the egg into the boiling water from the small bowl. Do this with each egg, 1 at a time.
4. Cook for approximately 5 minutes for soft eggs; 7-8 for hard boiled. The best way to check if your eggs are done is to take them out of the boiling water with a slotted spoon onto a plate covered in doubled up paper towel. If they're very jiggly; they're soft. Not so jiggly? Medium to hard boiled (the yolk will be firm.)

If this is your first time cooking eggs like this, try cooking 2 eggs at a time checking the doneness until you get it the way you like them.

For this smoked salmon potato salad recipe, we like the eggs a little runny.

Hope you love this smoked salmon potato salad like we do!
