Crispy Smashed Fried Potatoes

While I love serving these as an elevated appetizer for holiday gatherings like Christmas or New Years Eve, they can also be paired with a perfectly seared steak, roasted chicken or an accompaniment to brunch.

Ingredients

  • pounds fingerling potatoes
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt, as needed
  • Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • ¼ cup creme fraiche
  • 1 ounce caviar
  • 1 ounce salmon roe
  • 2 teaspoons diced chives
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill

Instructions

  • Add the potatoes to a large saucepan, cover with water by 1-inch and bring the water to a boil. Cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let the potatoes completely dry.
  • Heat a large cast iron pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and heat through. Working in batches if needed. Add the potatoes using the flat side of a spatula to press down and smash them. Season with salt and pepper then add the garlic to the pan.
  • Fry the potatoes until the outside is crispy, about 3 minutes. Use a spatula to carefully flip the potatoes and continue to fry on the other side until golden brown, about an additional 2 minutes.
  • Remove to a serving platter and top with creme fraiche, caviar, roe, chives and dill. Serve immediately.
