  Steam potatoes, peel when still warm and crush them with a fork at once. Transfer crushed potatoes into a bowl.
  Steam salmon. Remove its skin and crumble its meat wih a fork when still warm. Add to potatoes.
  Meanwhile chop smoked salmon and add to other ingredients.
  Now it's time to add aromatic, nutmeg and olive oil. Season to taste with salt.
  Stir very well with a wooden spoon.
  Your ravioli filling is ready. Put it apart.

  Generally, to make this kind of ravioli stuffed with salmon and potates I work with a 36 holes aluminum square ravioli mold.
  Usually, I get 160 ravioli with these stuffing doses.

Just before serving

• - The last step.
  Cook ravioli in boiling water. You'll need more than 5 minutes. Time depends on the thickness of your egg dough.
  Toss your ravioli and serve at once.

Note

Tips

• - These ravioli filled with potato and salmon are excellent tossed with olive oil and chives or melted butter and sage or a light tomato sauce.
  You can also top every portion with freshly-ground black pepper, if liked. Or add fennel seeds or chopped nuts or dried rosemary instead of sage in the butter when it melts.
• - If these doses are excessive for you, you can always freeze and cook them still frozen when you need. It may be helpful to read my page on ravioli (link below).
• - Use fresh or dried aromatic according to the season.

Menu planning

• - Suggested portions may be changed depending on how you serve these ravioli. If ravioli with salmon and potatoes are served in a full menu, they will be sufficient for a larger number of people. Everything depends on how much your family and guests are used to eat ;))

  On the page for making ravioli you'll be able to find another filling with broccoli and ricotta with their doses to make 160 ravioli.

Healthy eating

• - The nutritional values refer only to raw ravioli with their stuffing but do not take into account their sauce.
  If you want to toss them with olive oil and chives, you have to know that every tablespoon of olive oil contains 90 calories and 10 grams of fat. While 10 grams of butter (if you prefer toss ravioli with melted butter and sage) provide just over 80 calories and 8 grams of fat on average. But attention to their composition of fats. Olive oil has much healthier fat.
• - Fiber per serving: 1,8 grams per serving.
