Ingredients

1 pound small Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices 

Coarse salt 

8 slices thin, dense rye bread, crusts removed 

8 teaspoons unsalted butter, preferably Danish, softened 

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese 

1 green apple, quartered, cored, and very thinly sliced 

1/2 cup Pickled Onion Slices, made with white onion 

Preparation

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. Let cool.

Spread bread slices with butter; sprinkle each with 2 teaspoons cheese. Divide potatoes among bread. Top each with apple slices, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon cheese. Top with onion slices, dividing evenly. Sprinkle with salt, and drizzle each with 1 teaspoon pickling liquid.
