Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. small new red potatoes, 12 to 16,
- unpeeled and well scrubbed
- 2 Tbs. vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup sour cream or crème fraîche
- 2 tsp. finely chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- Pinch of freshly ground white pepper
- 2 oz. any variety of caviar or fish roe
- Fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs or watercress for
- garnish
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 475°F.
- Place the potatoes on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until cooked through and slightly crispy, 45 to 50 minutes; prick with a knife or skewer to test for doneness. Remove from the oven and let cool. Cut each potato in half crosswise. If the ends of any potatoes are uneven, cut off a thin slice from them so they will stand upright once they are filled. Carefully scoop out all the pulp from each half, leaving only a thin shell. Place the pulp in a bowl. Return the potato shells to the baking sheet, hollow sides down, and brush the skins with the oil.
- Return to the oven and bake until crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 425°F.
- Add 1/2 cup of the sour cream, the chives, salt and white pepper to the potato pulp and mix well. Pack the potato mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip and pipe the mixture into the shells. Alternatively, using a small teaspoon, spoon the mixture into the shells.
- Place the filled potatoes on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Arrange the potatoes on a serving platter. Garnish each with a dollop of the remaining sour cream, then of caviar. Garnish the platter with parsley sprigs and serve immediately.
