Twice Baked Baby Potatoes With Caviar Recipes

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.

"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.

CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 2 stacked rimmed baking sheets in the oven and let them heat with the oven (stacking them helps the pans hold the heat).
• Toss the potatoes with the oil and 1 teaspoon garlic salt in a bowl. Remove the heated pans from the oven and arrange the potatoes in an even layer, cut-side down, in the top pan. Return the pans to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then flip the potatoes and bake until both sides are toasted and brown, another 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the mayo, chives, dill, parsley and remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt to a food processor and pulse until chunky.
• Smear the aioli on the bottom of a serving platter. Pile the potatoes on top of the aioli. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

• Pierce the potatoes with a fork a few times on all sides. Place on a baking sheet and bake until fork-tender, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool slightly. (Leave the oven on.)
• Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl in the microwave.
• Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to make a slit lengthwise down the top of each, cutting about halfway through. Make another small slit across the first to make a "t". Gently push the sides of the potato with your hands to loosen the filling. Scoop out the flesh to a large bowl with a spoon or melon baller, leaving a 1/4 inch of flesh in the skins to preserve the shape of the potatoes. Return the potato skins to the baking sheet.
• Mash the potato flesh until smooth. Add the shallot butter mixture, creme fraiche, chives and lemon zest, then season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the crabmeat.
• Spoon the mixture evenly into the potato skins. Drizzle with the remaining melted butter. Bake until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Top each potato with a dollop of creme fraiche, a sprinkle of chives and a spoonful of caviar. Serve immediately.
