How to Serve Caviar With Potato Pancake, smoked salmon and Dill Cream:
Caviar is best enjoyed chilled. To serve caviars, simply place a small spoonful on top of each potato pancake, nestled next to the smoked salmon.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Make the Dill Cream: In a small bowl, combine crème fraîche, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir in chives (optional) and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Prepare the Potato Pancakes:Â Grate the potatoes and onion using a food processor or box grater. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- In a medium bowl, combine the grated potato and onion mixture with the egg, flour, baking powder, and salt and pepper.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop out about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture per pancake and flatten slightly. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Assemble and Serve:Â Arrange the potato pancakes on a platter. Top each pancake with a dollop of dill cream, smoked salmon, and a small spoonful of caviar. Enjoy immediately!
