Julienne is where the French cuisine meets the Russian cuisine.Traditionally, this dish is cooked with mushrooms and chicken but I actually have my own variation with salmon. Serve it as an appetizer, a main dish or a side dish. The best thing about this recipe- it takes a handful of ingredients and less than 30 minutes to prepare.

5. Spread the potato mixture in a small casserole dish or ceramic pots.
