Caviar and Toppings

Fries

Ranch Dressing

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into long, thin strips, approximately 1 cm wide.

  2. 2

    Soaking Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and will make them crispier.

  3. 3

    Drying the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel to remove any moisture.

  4. 4

    Frying the Potatoes

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Carefully add the dried potato strips in batches and fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Salting the Fries

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While they are hot, sprinkle with sea salt to taste.

Making the Ranch Dressing

  1. 6

    Mixing Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon juice.

  2. 7

    Seasoning

    Add salt to taste and mix until all ingredients are well combined. Adjust the seasoning as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preparing Caviar and Serving

  1. 8

    Making Vodka Crème Fraîche

    In a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche with vodka until smooth. This will give a nice tangy flavor to the crème fraîche.

  2. 9

    Plating the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the crispy fries. Spoon the vodka crème fraîche over the fries, then top with caviar and sprinkle with chopped fresh chives.

  3. 10

    Serving

    Serve immediately with the ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
