Shopping List

Yukon Gold potatoes, 1 lb

Kosher salt, to taste

Chives, 1 bunch

Eggs, 2x

Egg yolks, 2x

Balinese Truffle Salt, to taste

All purpose flour, 1/4 cup

Whole milk, 1/4 cup

Unsalted butter, 2 tbsp

Kaluga caviar, 1 jar

White sturgeon caviar, 1 jar

Smoked trout roe, 1 jar

Pickled shallots, 1 jar

Prep

  1. Place the potatoes in a small saucepan and cover with water by at least an inch. Add a pinch of kosher salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  2. Simmer the potatoes until they’re very tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes.

How to cook

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F. Line a sheet tray with aluminum foil.
  2. Slice the chives.
  3. Use a large spoon to transfer the potatoes to a kitchen towel. Use the towel to peel the potatoes while they’re hot. Pass the peeled potatoes through a ricer into a mixing bowl. Measure out two packed cups of riced potato and return it to the mixing bowl, discarding any extra potato.
  4. Use a wooden spoon to mash the warm potatoes to create a paste. Slowly add the whole eggs and use a spoon to whip until incorporated. Add the egg yolks and continue to whip until creamed and smooth. Season with a pinch of Balinese Truffle Salt.
  5. Slowly add the flour and mix until combined. Stir in 2–3 tablespoons of milk to reach the desired batter consistency.
  6. In a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat, melt a small slice of butter until sizzling. Add small spoonfuls of blini batter and cook until the pan side is golden brown. Flip and cook the rest of the way through.
  7. Transfer the cooked blinis onto the foil-lined sheet tray and cover with a kitchen towel as you finish the remaining blinis. Just before serving, remove the towel and place the blinis in the oven to warm.
  8. Once your blini are cooked, plate them up with creme friache, sliced chives, pickled shallots, and your choice of delicious caviar! Enjoy every last bite!
