Serves 5

Preparation time 30 mins to 1 hour

Cooking time 10 to 30 mins

Ingredients
500g/1lb2oz ratte potatoes (new potatoes)
500g/1lb2oz lateral sliced smoked salmon (can be pre-sliced)
4 tbsp peanut oil (can use vegetable oil)
50g/2oz oscietra caviar (or any caviar to garnish)
1 tsp horseradish cream
100ml/6tbsp whipped double cream
sea salt and pepper
10 leaves flat parsley

Method
To make the potatoes:
1. Peel and wash the potatoes.
2. Grate the potatoes with a hand grater and season with the sea salt and flavour with the pepper.
3. Place the peanut oil into 5 blinis pans and when the oil is hot cook the potatoes until golden brown (medium heat).
4. Make sure to press the potatoes down with a palette knife so they cook evenly.
5. Cook for about 5-6 minutes.

To make the cream:
Whisk the cream with the horseradish, salt and pepper to taste, until it has thickened.

To serve:
Place the potato on the plate and carefully place 3 slices of salmon overlapping each other on top. Take 2 spoons and make a quenelle of cream (the shape of the inside of the spoon by pulling one against the other), a dollop of cream will do for the centre. Then spoon on the caviar and garnish with flat parsley.

N.B. This recipe uses peanut oil.
