1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil them in salted water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2
Make Potato Puree
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Mash the potatoes until smooth, then set aside.
3
Blend Ingredients
In a blender or food processor, combine the carp roe, mashed potatoes, lemon juice, and garlic. Blend until smooth.
4
Add Olive Oil
With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
5
Adjust Consistency
If the mixture is too thick, add the water gradually until you reach your desired consistency.
6
Season the Mixture
Add salt and black pepper to taste, blending well after each addition.
7
Serve
Transfer the taramasalata to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
