American Caviar with Crispy Yukon Gold Potato Pancakes

These crispy potato pancakes offer a sophisticated take on a classic savoury snack. By using Yukon Gold potatoes, you achieve a wonderfully buttery interior and a golden, crunchy exterior that provides the perfect base for luxurious toppings. The addition of fresh lemon juice ensures the potatoes stay bright, while a light dusting of flour helps bind the delicate pancakes together during frying.

This vegetarian-friendly starter is an excellent choice for a dinner party or a celebratory brunch. The salty pop of American sturgeon caviar contrasts beautifully with the cooling tang of crème fraîche and the sharp bite of finely diced red onion. Serve these while the pancakes are still warm to fully appreciate the play of temperatures and textures that makes this dish so special.
