Best Caviar Dream With Endive And Baby Potatoes Recipes

"TWICE BAKED" BABY POTATOES WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. In a pot, cover potatoes with about 2 inches of cool water; bring to a boil. Season generously with salt and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife but still holding their shape, 8 to 10 minutes; drain. When cool enough to handle, trim and discard 1/4 inch from top of each potato. (If necessary, trim bottoms flat so potatoes stand upright.)
• Using a small paring knife, the smaller side of a melon baller, or a demitasse spoon, carefully scoop flesh from potatoes, leaving 1/4 inch flesh intact all around bottom and sides. Transfer hollowed potatoes to parchment-lined baking sheets.
• For the smoothest texture, press potato flesh through a ricer into a bowl. Stir in cream cheese, butter, milk, and chives to thoroughly combine (or, if not using a ricer, mash to combine until smooth); season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer potato mixture to a piping bag fitted with a plain tip, or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped. Pipe mixture into hollowed potatoes and bake until they are heated through and browned in places on top, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool a few minutes; dollop with sour cream and top with caviar, trout roe, or more chives. Serve warm.

CAVIAR POTATO CHIPS AND LEMON CREAM

Steps:

CRISP POTATO CANAPES WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• In a 2-quart saucepan bring 1 quart salted water to a boil.
• Cut potatoes crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Put slices flat on a cutting board and cut each slice into the largest possible rectangle, discarding excess. Halve each rectangle crosswise to form 2 cubes, each about 1 inch in size.
• Simmer potatoes 5 minutes, or until just tender, and drain. Pat potatoes dry thoroughly. With a small melon-ball cutter or knife, scoop out an indentation about 1/3 inch deep in 1 side of each potato cube. Potatoes may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled in an airtight container.
• In a heavy saucepan heat 1 1/2 inches oil over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 350°F. Fry potatoes until golden, 3 to 5, minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Potatoes may be fried 8 hours ahead and kept, covered loosely, at room temperature. Recrisp potatoes in a 375°F. oven 5 minutes.
• Fell indentation in each potato cube with sour cream and top with caviar. Garnish canapés with chives.

ROASTED POTATO SLICES WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush both sides of potato slices with olive oil. Place on baking sheet and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown on bottom sides, about 15 minutes. Turn slices over and continue baking until second sides are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to plate.
• Top slices with small dollops of sour cream. Sprinkle with chives. Spoon small amount of caviar atop sour cream and chives. Serve immediately.

STUFFED NEW POTATOES WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until tender. Cool the potatoes completely. When the potatoes are cool, slice them in half. Scoop the flesh out of each half, leaving 1/4 inch of flesh in each half. Place 1 tablespoon of the drained sour cream in each potato. Place a chervil leaf on each potato. Top each potato with a little caviar.

POTATOES AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• In a saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water; bring to a boil and simmer until tender but still quite firm when pierced with the tip of a knife; remove all but 4 potatoes and continue to cook these 4 until soft.
• When cool, cut the tops off the group of 24 potatoes; scoop out the flesh with a melon baller, leaving a 1/4" thick wall; place the pulp in a double boiler or metal bowl over simmering water to keep it warm; peel and add the 4 remaining potatoes.
• Cut a small slice off the bottom of each potato so that they will stand upright on a baking sheet; preheat the oven to 375°; Heat the milk and melt the butter in a small saucepan; push the potato flesh through a ricer, food mill or wide-meshed sieve.
• Stir the milk into the potatoes a bit at a time, until they are creamy; add creme fraiche, salt and pepper and 1 T chives; pipe the potatoes into the shells, making sure the cut edges are covered.
• Bake until golden brown and slightly puffed, about 15 minutes; brush with melted butter and bake another 15 minutes; remove from oven and top with caviar and chives.

BAKED POTATOES WITH CRéME FRAICHE AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in center. Bake potatoes directly on rack until darkened slightly, beginning to wrinkle, and easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 to 1 1/2 hours (depending on size).
• Working one at a time, immediately wrap potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and slam down onto a countertop (this ensures a light, fluffy texture). Slash potatoes to open, season, and top generously with dollops of crème fraîche and scoops of caviar. Serve immediately.
