Crispy Potato Cakes

Crème Fraîche & Caviar Topping

Firecracker Tuna Topping

Method

Preparation of Crispy Potato Cakes

  1. 1

    Boil Potatoes

    Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into quarters. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mash Potatoes

    Drain the boiled potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth and lump-free.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the all-purpose flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until combined.

  4. 4

    Form Tots

    Shape the mixture into small, oval-shaped cakes (tots) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Fry Tots

    In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the potato cakes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Crème Fraîche & Caviar Topping

  1. 6

    Prepare Topping

    In a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche until smooth. Set aside.

  2. 7

    Add Caviar

    Once the potato cakes are cooked, top each cake with a dollop of crème fraîche and a spoonful of bowfin caviar.

Firecracker Tuna Topping

  1. 8

    Mix Tuna Filling

    In a separate bowl, combine diced yellowfin tuna with Cajun Firecracker sauce. Mix well to coat the tuna evenly.

  2. 9

    Top Tots

    Spoon the spicy tuna mixture onto the remaining potato cakes and garnish with habanero tobiko.
