Salmon, Smoked Salmon and Potato Gratin

Total time: 55 minutes
    A mix of fresh and smoked salmon gives a lot of flavor to this simple gratin.  Simmering the potatoes in milk shortens the baking time.

 Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes,  10oz (300gr)
• 1 cup (8oz, 240ml) milk
• 8oz (240gr) fresh salmon
• 3oz (90gr) smoked salmon    either wet or dry smoked
• 1/2 tsp dried dill weed
• 1/3 cup (3oz, 90gr) Greek or plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup (2oz, 60gr) Cheddar cheese, shredded

 Instructions:

• The potatoes:  Thinly slice potatoes.
• Pour milk into a medium skillet and heat to simmering. 
• Add potatoes, in layers.  Cook, uncovered, until potatoes turn translucent, about 15 minutes.
• The salmon:  Cut fresh salmon into 1" (2.5cm) thick slices.
• Roughly chop smoked salmon.
• To assemble:  Remove 1/3 of the potatoes from the milk, arrange in a baking dish.
• Spread smoked salmon on potatoes.
• Top with 1/3 potatoes, in a layer.
• Arrange fresh salmon on potatoes.
• Top with remaining 1/3 potatoes. 
• To finish: Add dill, yogurt to milk and stir well. (Milk will be thick from the potatoes.)
• Pour over the top of the gratin.
• Top with shredded cheese, cover with foil and bake, 400F (200C) for 20 minutes.
• Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer, until cheese starts to brown.  Remove and serve.
