Ingredients

1 1/4 lb small Peruvian Blue potatoes, peeled
1/4 cup sour cream
1 oz caviar or salmon or lumpfish roe, drained (2 tablespoons)

  1. Step 1

    Cut potatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cover with salted cold water by 1 inch, then simmer gently until just tender but not falling apart, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and spread in 1 layer to cool to room temperature.
