Potato Blini

Ingredients:

1 lb.
2 tbsp.
2-3 tbsp.
2
1 each
To taste
To taste
Yukon Gold potato (skin on)
all-purpose flour
crème fraiche (room temperature)
large eggs
large egg york
Kosher salt
white pepper

Preparation:

In small pot with cold water, cook the potato by bringing the water to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and simmer until tender, about 1 hour.

Peel the potato and press through a fine sieve. Weigh out 9 oz. of potato puree and combine with all-purpose flour using a whisk.

Whisk 2 tbsp. of crème fraiche with 1 egg and until batter is smooth. Whisk in the second egg until batter is smooth again. Add large egg yolk and continue to whisk. If needed, add 1 tbsp. of crème fraiche for proper consistency. Season with salt and white pepper.

Cook batter on 350 degree skillet like a small sized pancake. Yields about 12 small blinis.

Plating Suggestion

Use photo as a guideline. Place caviar in small glass dish and seat inside crushed ice to keep chilled. Serve potato blinis in a small stack alongside chopped boiled egg. Further garnish with a smear of crème fraiche topped with chives and parsley sprigs. This dish is best enjoyed with a nice glass of sparkling Champagne.
