Best Fried Potatoes With Salmon Caviar Recipes

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.

CRISP POTATO SLICES WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice the potatoes 1/8 of an inch thick. Toss the potato slices with the olive oil. Lay the potato slices on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the potato slices are crisp. Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow to cool. In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese and the sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. Using a pastry bag, pipe small rosettes of the goat cheese mixture onto the potato slices. Sprinkle with a few red pepper brunoise. Place some caviar on top of the goat cheese rosette.

• Mix flour, milk, egg, baking powder, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add to the potatoes and then add the melted butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add enough peanut oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Drop in spoonfuls of batter for form small cakes and fry until golden on 1 side. Flip, and cook the same way on the other side.

NEW POTATOES WITH CREME FRAICHE AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• Wash potatoes and place on 2 lightly oiled cookie sheets. Bake for about 30 minutes.
• Cool potatoes before handling.
• Trim either end of each potato and then cut in half, leaving trimmed edges on the end to allow potatoes to sit upright. Using a small melon baller, scoop out inside of each potato half, leaving at least 1/8-inch edge.
• Fill pastry bag, fitted with a star tip, with creme fraiche. Fill each scooped-out potato half with piped creme fraiche.
• Garnish top of each potato with red or black lumpfish roe.

FRIED POTATOES WITH SALMON CAVIAR

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a saucepan in a single layer, and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, and boil until almost cooked through but still firm in the center, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain, and peel when cool enough to handle. Cut the potatoes into quarters, and sprinkle them lightly with salt. (The potatoes may be prepared to this point up to 4 hours in advance and held at room temperature.
• Heat oven to 250 degrees, and put an ovenproof platter in it. Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat, until it bubbles vigorously when a small piece of potato is dropped in. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, fry the potatoes until browned and crisp, occasionally moving them around in the oil to make sure they cook evenly.
• Remove the potatoes from the oil with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels or brown paper bags. Sprinkle the potatoes lightly with salt, and transfer them to the platter in the oven to keep warm.
• When all potato quarters are cooked, quickly top each with a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of sour cream, a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of caviar and a sprinkling of chives. Serve right away for best flavor. To eat Russian-style, have a shot of vodka, and immediately pop a potato quarter into your mouth.
