Potatoes

Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the potatoes

    Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

  3. 3

    Score the potatoes

    Using a fork, poke several holes all over the potatoes to allow steam to escape while baking.

  4. 4

    Season the potatoes

    Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over each potato.

Baking

  1. 5

    Bake the potatoes

    Place the seasoned potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces through the flesh.

  2. 6

    Check for doneness

    After 45 minutes, check the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork. If they are easily pierced, they are ready.

Serving

  1. 7

    Prepare the toppings

    While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the fresh chives and set aside.

  2. 8

    Serve the potatoes

    Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to fluff the insides.

  3. 9

    Add toppings

    Spoon a generous amount of creme fraiche into each potato, sprinkle with chopped chives, and top with a dollop of Calvisius Imperial Caviar.

  4. 10

    Garnish and enjoy

    Garnish with additional chives if desired and serve immediately while hot.
