    Extravagant...Sumptuous...Caviar with Cream

    December 28, 2015 by Anna 2 Comments

    This Caviar with Cream on Baby Potatoes is an elegant and easy way to serve caviar to a crowd. A small bite sized appetizer without the assembly mess, AND it won't fall apart like some appetizers!

    This Caviar with Cream on Baby Potatoes is an elegant and easy way to serve caviar to a crowd. A small bite without the assembly mess!

    My first experience with caviar was at a family wedding when I was 12. My cousins convinced me to try a cracker that held a mound of dark, shiny beads....

    Needless to say, my pre-teen palate was startled and offended by the salty, seemingly bitter assault.

    This Caviar with Cream on Baby Potatoes is an elegant and easy way to serve caviar to a crowd. A small bite without the assembly mess!

    I wasn't interested (or courageous enough) to try it again until almost twenty years later, when my new boyfriend (now husband) ordered champagne and caviar for a celebration (honestly, in hindsight he was definitely trying to impress me!).

    Well, the whole presentation of the caviar was so beautiful and luxurious that I had to try the delicacy.

    The experience did make an impression on me. Oh, not because he spent a fortune on an ounce of fish eggs, but because the dish was elegant, like a choreographed dance.

    It was very civilized, having our champagne and carefully mounding the crème fraiche on the blini with the onion and egg.

    Since that initial celebration we have served caviar at various parties.

    It can be problematic having each of the accompaniments separate with everyone trying to get to the one they want, and it's a bit messy.

    When I saw this idea for combining the accompaniments into the cream, it seemed to make a lot of sense.

    And, if you don't like caviar, you can serve the cream mixture without the salty, briny, expensive ingredient! It's still a delicious appetizer.

    Caviar with Cream on Baby Potatoes

    An elegant and easy way to serve caviar for those very special occasions.
    Prep Time10 minutes mins
    Cook Time20 minutes mins
    Total Time30 minutes mins
    Course: Appetizer
    Cuisine: American
    Keyword: Caviar with Cream on Baby Potatoes
    Servings: 30 pieces
    Author: Anna

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound mini new potatoes
    • 1 ounce caviar, I use American Sturgeon Malossol Caviar (1-ounce goes a long way.)
    • ⅓ cup finely diced red onion
    • 2 hard boiled eggs, finely chopped
    • ½ cup sour cream
    • ¼ cup Sir Kensington's Mayonnaise
    • 2 green onion tops or chives , cut in small pieces
    • ¼ to ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, for garnish
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Steam the potatoes for about 20 minutes until soft when pierced with a fork. Cool.
    • Mix the diced red onion and hard boiled eggs together in a small bowl then add the sour cream and Sir Kensington's Mayonnaise, mix well.
    • Cut a very small piece from each end of the potatoes then cut the potatoes in half. Set the potatoes on their ends with the center cut facing up.
    • Mound a small amount of the sour cream mixture into the center of each potato half. If necessary, you can make a small hollow in the potato.
    • Top the sour cream mix with a little of the caviar.
    • Place a piece of green onion or chive on top and sprinkle with a bit of the paprika.

    Notes

    Gr8 Do-Ahead Tip:
    The cream can be mixed early in the day. Cover and chill. The potatoes can be steamed up to a day ahead. Refrigerate them covered, then cut when ready to assemble.
    Gr8 Tip:
    For guests who don't like caviar, this appetizer is also delicious with just the cream, green onion and paprika.

      This was delicious; despite the saltiness of the caviar, we added a bit of salt to the cream which brought out the flavor even more!

      Wow. That really looks special. I am loving Sir Kensington too. Nice touch.
