Potato Latkes with Smoked Salmon, Caviar, and Tarragon Crème Fraîche

These potato latkes with smoked salmon, caviar, and tarragon crème fraîche offer a sophisticated twist on a classic comfort food. Golden and crisp on the outside with a tender, savoury interior, the latkes provide the perfect base for the rich ribbons of smoked salmon. The addition of fresh tarragon to the crème fraîche introduces a subtle aniseed note that cuts through the richness, while the caviar adds a luxurious, salty pop of flavour to every bite.

As a high-protein option, this dish is ideal for a decadent weekend brunch or as an elegant starter for a dinner party. Using Yukon Gold potatoes ensures a buttery texture and a beautiful golden colour once fried. You can easily prepare the tarragon cream in advance, allowing you to focus on achieving that perfect crunch on the latkes just before serving your guests.
