Caviar On Potato With Creamy Champagne Dressing Recipes

CAVIAR ON POTATO WITH CREAMY CHAMPAGNE DRESSING

Steps:

• Make potatoes:
• Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Boil the potatoes until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool immediately; set aside.
• Make dressing:
• In a mixing bowl combine the sour cream, sparkling wine, chives, and lemon zest.
• Assemble:
• Add the well-drained, cooled potatoes to the dressing and gently mix until combined. Fill 8 shot glasses almost to the rim with potato salad. (You can also use 4 martini or other glasses, Chinese soupspoons, or other small containers.) Top with 1/4 ounce of caviar. Serve immediately or keep chilled until service.

CAVIAR WITH HOUSE-MADE POTATO CHIPS AND LEMON CRèME FRAICHE

Steps:

• For the chips: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or a deep fryer to 350 degrees F and, working in 2 batches, add the potato slices. Turn with a slotted spoon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, season with kosher salt and chopped dill. Repeat with remaining potato slices.
• For the lemon creme fraiche: Mix together the creme fraiche, chives, lemon zest and lemon juice in a large bowl. Serve with the potato chips and caviar for dipping.

TWICE-COOKED POTATOES WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until just tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 15 minutes. Drain well. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, and let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Cut off tops and a thin slice from bottoms of 24 potatoes. Using a small melon baller, scoop out flesh from these potatoes, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Peel remaining 4 potatoes. Press whole potatoes and remaining flesh through a ricer into a medium bowl.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat milk and the room-temperature butter in a small saucepan over medium until butter melts. Stir into riced potatoes, a little at a time, until creamy. Stir in creme fraiche and the chives; season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain round tip (such as Ateco #806). Pipe potato mixture into shells, mounding about 1/2 inch above top edge.
• Bake until tops are golden brown and slightly puffed, about 15 minutes. Brush with melted butter, and bake 15 minutes more. Top each potato with about 1/4 teaspoon caviar. Serve immediately.

CAVIAR POTATO CHIPS AND LEMON CREAM

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together crème fraîche and zest. Top each potato chip with a small dollop of crème fraîche and a spoonful of 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.

POTATO SALAD WITH CREAMY CAVIAR DRESSING

Steps:

• Mix first 3 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Fold in 1/4 cup caviar. Cover and refrigerate. (Dressing can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to work surface to cool. Cook beans in same pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Rinse beans under cold water to cool. Cut beans into 1-inch lengths. Cut potatoes into quarters.
• Combine potatoes, beans, endive, chopped eggs and green onions in large bowl. Add dressing and toss gently to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper. Divide salad among 4 plates. Top each with 1 teaspoon caviar.

ROASTED FINGERLING POTATOES WITH CREME FRAICHE AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with 1/2 cup of olive oil, rosemary, and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Coat a small roasting pan with the remaining olive oil and put the potatoes in the pan, cut-side down. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the potatoes are tender on the inside and golden on the outside.
• Let the potatoes cool slightly and then arrange on a serving platter. Serve the potatoes with the creme fraiche, caviar, and chives for self-service hors d'oeurves. This goes great with champagne. If you wish, spread each potato with a 1/4 teaspoon of creme fraiche and 1/2 teaspoon caviar instead of dipping.

POTATO PANCAKES WITH SMOKED SALMON, CAVIAR AND DILL CREAM

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir the creme fraiche with the dill and lemon juice.
• Season with salt and black pepper and sprinkle with the chives.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In a food processor or on a box grater, coarsely shred the potatoes and the onion.
• Transfer to a large, clean kitchen towel and squeeze dry.
• In a medium bowl, mix the shredded potatoes and onion with the egg, flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
• In a large nonstick skillet or on a griddle, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering.
• Drop 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet and flatten with the back of a spoon to make a 3-inch round.
• Make about 5 more pancakes and cook over moderately high heat until golden on the bottom, about 4 minutes.
• Flip the pancakes and cook until golden, about 2 minutes longer.
• Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Repeat with the remaining potato mixture; you should have 12 pancakes.
• Arrange the potato pancakes on a platter.
• Serve warm, with the dill cream, smoked salmon and caviar.

CAVIAR SOUR CREAM DIP WITH POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, scallions, chives, pepper and salt to taste. Let sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes so the flavors can meld (or chill for up to 24 hours before serving).
• Spoon caviar on top and serve with potato chips and celery sticks.

DRESSING FOR POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion and salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to toss with potatoes.

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.
