Roasted potatoes get a elegant brunch upgrade in this simple but impressive dish. Little Reds™ are tossed in olive oil and roasted until golden, then finished with a bright lemon and dill coating and served alongside a creamy, herbed cream cheese and smoked salmon mixture. It sounds fancy but comes together with just 8 ingredients and barely any prep. Whether you’re hosting a weekend brunch or looking for a weeknight dinner that feels a little special, this one delivers big flavor without any extra stress.

On-the-Go Tip

This dish travels well at room temperature, making it a great addition to a brunch spread or potluck. Pack the roasted potatoes and the cream cheese mixture separately and combine just before serving to keep everything fresh. A small cooler bag will keep the cream cheese mixture at a safe temperature if you’re heading somewhere without refrigeration.

Kid-Friendly Tip

Little ones can help toss the potatoes in oil and seasoning before they go in the oven, and older kids can take on zesting the lemon and mixing together the cream cheese and dill. For kids who aren’t keen on smoked salmon, serve it on the side so everyone can add as much or as little as they like, or leave it out entirely for a simple lemon, dill, and cream cheese potato dish that still feels special.
