Smashed potatoes create a golden, crispy crust for this gluten-free salmon quiche, offering a hearty alternative to traditional pastry. By pressing the seasoned potatoes directly into a cast iron pan, you get a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the tender, egg-based filling.
Sweet caramelized onions provide a mellow foundation that balances the saltiness of the smoked salmon and capers. A touch of fresh dill brightens the dish, while the melted cheese binds everything into a cohesive, sliceable main that holds its own on the dinner table.
This is a practical one-pan meal that transitions easily from a weekend brunch to a reliable midweek dinner. Serve it warm straight from the skillet alongside a sharp, vinaigrette-dressed salad to cut through the richness of the eggs and potatoes.
