Ingredients
½ cup crème fraîche2 tbsp. minced chives
2 tbsp. capers, drained
2 large russet potatoes
8 tbsp. clarified butter (See how to make clarified butter)
1 tsp. sesame seeds
1 tsp. poppy seeds
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
4 oz. smoked salmon
¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
1. Mix crème fraîche, chives, and capers in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.2. Peel and grate potatoes using the large holes on a cheese grater or cut into matchsticks using a mandoline. Heat 4 tbsp. clarified butter in a 10" nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Toss potatoes with seeds and salt and pepper; add to pan and stir to coat potatoes with butter. Using a spatula, gently press potatoes into a flat round, molding to fit skillet; cook, shaking skillet occasionally, until edges are golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
3. Place a plate, turned upside down, over skillet and invert skillet with plate, allowing potato cake to fall onto plate; slide potato cake back into skillet. Pour remaining butter around edges of potato cake and continue cooking until potatoes are crisp on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and season with salt and pepper. Place smoked salmon and onion evenly over surface and cut into wedges. Place a dollop of the crème fraîche mixture on top of each wedge before serving.

Only after my minor disappointment (it still looked and tasted great)did it dawn on me that I could have simply grated them.
