Roasted Fingerling Potatoes With Crème Fraîche And Caviar Food

ROASTED FINGERLING POTATOES WITH CRèME FRAîCHE AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine potatoes, 2 tablespoons oil, and rosemary in large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Brush large rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange potatoes, cut side down, in single layer on prepared sheet. Shake pan slightly to prevent sticking. Roast until potatoes are brown, crisp, and cooked through, about 35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes on sheet. Place bowls of crème fraîche and caviar on large platter. Arrange potatoes, cut side up, around bowls and serve.

HOMEMADE ROOT VEGGIE CHIPS WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Trim ends of potatoes. Using a mandolin or very sharp knife, cut potatoes into very thin slices, each no more than ⅛-inch thick (you'll want to have at least 24 slices, but slice up extras so you can choose the best-looking chips for your caviar). Arrange slices on paper towels and sprinkle on both sides with salt. Let sit 15 minutes, then blot dry with paper towels.
• Oil 2 large baking sheets; arrange potato slices in a single layer over the baking sheets. Bake until crisped, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. (Chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 hours.)
• Place 24 chips on a platter. Top each chip with a generous ½ teaspoon crème fraîche, a scant ¼ teaspoon caviar and a sprinkling of chives. Serve immediately.

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.

ROASTED NEW POTATOES WITH CHILLI CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Tip the potatoes into a roasting tin and toss in the oil. Sprinkle with paprika and roast for 35-45 minutes until crisp and golden, shaking the tin halfway through.
• Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and tip on to a platter. Spoon the crème fraîche into a small bowl and swirl the chilli sauce on top. Serve with the potatoes for dipping.
