New potatoes with black caviar

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
12 New potatoes, very small
4 cups Rock salt
Oil; deep frying
½ cup Sour cream
4 ounces Black caviar

Directions

Preheat oven to 450.

Wash and dry potatoes. Arrange potatoes on a bed of rock salt in a shallow baking pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until done.

Remove potatoes from oven and cut into halves. Scoop out pulp with a melon-ball cutter, being careful to keep shells intact. Mash pulp slightly in a small bowl and keep warm.

Heat oil to 375 in a large saucepan. Drop potato shells gently into oil and deep fry til golden brown and crisp. Drain well on paper towels.

Fill potato shells with mashed potatoes, top with a spoonful of sour cream, and add a teaspoon or more of caviar. Serve on a thick salad plate atop hot rock salt.
