1 tsp dill
Instructions:

- Spoon a generous dollop of the sour cream mixture into each potato.
- Distribute the smoked salmon pieces evenly among the potatoes, placing it gently on top of the sour cream.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the smoked salmon on each potato.
- Place the filled jacket potatoes back into the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
