Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb baby gold potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Toppings
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp finely chopped chives
- 2–3 tbsp caviar
- Optional: lemon zest for finishing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare the potatoes: Toss the sliced baby gold potatoes with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper in a bowl until each slice is evenly coated.
- Roast the potatoes: Arrange the potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet in a single even layer. Roast them in the oven for 20-22 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure they become golden brown and crisp on the edges.
- Cool slightly: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool briefly so they are warm but not too hot for topping.
- Add sour cream dollops: Place a small dollop of sour cream on each potato round, providing a creamy base for the caviar.
- Top with caviar and chives: Spoon a small amount of caviar onto each sour cream-topped potato and sprinkle with finely chopped chives for added flavor and color.
- Optional finishing touch: Garnish with a light sprinkle of lemon zest to add brightness and a fresh aroma before serving immediately.
Notes
- For best results, use small baby gold potatoes that are uniform in size for even cooking.
- If you prefer milder flavors, you can substitute caviar with finely chopped smoked salmon or a dollop of crème fraîche.
- The lemon zest is optional but adds a wonderful fresh note that balances the richness of the caviar and sour cream.
- These can be assembled shortly before serving to maintain the potatoes’ crisp texture.
- Leftover roasted potatoes can be stored and reheated but should be topped with caviar fresh before serving.
