Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Roll out the pastry and line a shallow 28cm flan tin. Trim off the edges, then line with baking paper and beans. Put on a baking sheet, bake for 10 mins. Remove the paper and beans, then bake for 5 mins more.
  2. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 6-8 mins until tender, then drain. Beat together the cream, eggs, dill, lime zest, salt and pepper. Scatter half the potatoes over the bottom of the pastry case, then put half the salmon strips in the gaps. Pour over half the egg mix, then arrange the remaining potatoes over the salmon pieces and put the remaining salmon in the gaps between. Pour over the rest of the egg mix.
  3. Bake for 25 mins until the top is lightly coloured and firm to the touch. Cool for 10 mins before removing from the tin, then serve warm or at room temperature sprinkled with extra dill.

FOR A SWEDISH TWIST

To make Gravadlax tart, replace the smoked salmon with gravadlax cured salmon and serve the dill and mustard sauce that comes with the salmon in a small bowl on the side for spooning over.

    Having never made a tart or quiche thing before ever this was really simple and the result was lovely. I served it with a great fresh salad for a light dinner. I will be making this again definately.

    Yeah, this was really nice. I doubled the filling and made in a bigger tin, then sprinkled cheese on top before going into the oven. Half of it was nice hot last night for dinner, and I'm sure the other half will be just as nice cold for lunch today.

    I cooked my potatoes whole and then sliced them as I always find that the they break up if I pre-slice them. If you do this, make sure that the potatoes are completely cooked as they do not cook much more when in the oven - mine weren't & you could tell slightly!

    I made this over the weekend and it was lovely. Went well with a simple salad. It did need a good 35 minutes to cook properly. Tasted even better cold for a packed lunch the next day.

    Not quite sure what she means in the first part: Roll out the pastry and line a shallow 28cm flan tin. Trim off the edges, then line with baking paper and beans. Put on a baking sheet, bake for 10 mins. Remove the paper and beans, then bake for 5 mins more. Am i trimming the edges of the pastry and putting baking paper on top of the pastry? and what is this about beans???? Can someone help me understand this part please!!

    Yes, you are putting the paper on top of the pastry that you have laid inside the dish. You should probably prick the pastry first with a fork first. The beans are baking beans - you can always use uncooked rice instead.

    Have made this 4 times now and it is always perfect. A great way to use smoked salmon 'trimmings' as well.

    Made this as a starter for Christmas Day - absolutely delicious and so easy to make. I actually used tinned new potatoes as a short cut (I don't ever use tinned potatoes but the texture was perfect for slicing). It is quite salty so I served with a cucumber salad dressed with lemon and olive oil.

    I made this as an alternative starter (for those who didn't want soup) on Xmas Eve, and everyone absolutely loved it! Husband and I also very much enjoyed munching on the left-overs the next day :-) I did, however, make my shortcrust pastry from scratch (I find this quite easy; not sure why it makes some people nervous?) and have 2 more batches of pastry in the freezer now for future tarts, quiches and pies. Brilliant recipe!

    I too would like to know if it can be frozen. Any quiche type thing usually can be but not sure when it has potatoes in it. Am wondering about increasing the salmon content and cream and eggs and taking out the potatoes. Has anyone tried?

    i have frozen just about every quiche or tart i have ever made (using my husband as guinea pig, before unleashing them on friends) and everyone has been fine, so i will be trying it out on this one. I also make them as canapes (chopping the salmon & potato very small) in minature pastry cases
