The Ingredients

Serves 2

• 400g Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and cubed (1.5cm)
• 2 tbsp neutral oil
• 30g unsalted butter
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 60g cold-smoked salmon, sliced into ribbons
• 100g full-fat sour cream
• 25g Royal Oscietra
• 1 tbsp finely chopped chives
• 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
• Sea salt and black pepper

The Method

1. Boil the potato cubes in salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and steam off.

2. Heat oil and butter in a heavy non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

3. Add potatoes in a single layer. Cook 8 minutes without moving until deep golden.

4. Add onion. Toss the potatoes. Cook another 4 minutes, tossing occasionally, until potatoes are crisp all over.

5. Plate. Top each portion with smoked salmon ribbons.

6. Add a dollop of sour cream and a generous spoon of caviar.

7. Scatter chives and dill. Crack pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips

Parboil first. Raw potatoes don't crisp properly. Boil 5 minutes then crisp.

High heat for crisp. Lower heat steams the potatoes soft.

Don't move too early. Let potatoes brown on one side before tossing.

Crème fraîche barrier protects caviar.

Vegetarian: Skip the salmon, add 100g of sautéed mushrooms instead.
