Time 15 to 20 mintutes

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf pumpernickel, thinly sliced
  • ~1 pound leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1 can smoked fish packed in oil (preferably trout, alternatively, mackerel or sardines), drained
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Small handful of fresh dill, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a toaster, an oven set to 425°F, or on a hot griddle, toast pumpernickel until both sides of each slice are crispy, about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice to sliced red onions and season with salt. Using a spoon or a piping bag, apply a generous layer of leftover mashed potatoes to toasts—it’s OK if they’re still cold, but if desired, feel free to reheat first. Top with smoked/tinned fish, red onion, and sprigs of dill. Transfer to serving plates and enjoy.
