Crispy Potato Nuggets With Beer Cheese And Caviar Recipes

CRISPY POTATO NUGGET HOISIN HALIBUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Cut halibut in 4 equal pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine ginger, light soy sauce, white wine, and pepper in mixing bowl. Add fish to bowl and let marinate for about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Defrost potato nuggets; add panko, hoisin, oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix together thoroughly and divide into 4 equal amounts.
• Heat a medium nonstick saute pan to low and add 2 tablespoons of oil.
• Remove fish from marinade, shake off excess marinade, and dredge in flour on both sides.
• Apply 1/4 of potato mixture to fish; press the mixture onto the top of the fish.
• Add fish potato-side-down to saute pan; cook 2 portions at a time. Cook until potato mixture is lightly browned and crispy. Gently turn the fish over; cook the other side for 2 minutes. When finished, remove, place on a baking sheet and hold in the oven until the next two fillets are cooked. Repeat the process for the next two fillets.
• Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

POTATO CHIPS WITH CREME FRAICHE AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Brush 3 large baking sheets generously with some oil.
• With a mandoline or other manual slicer cut the potatoes crosswise into 1/8-inch thick slices. Arrange slices in 1 layer on a baking sheet and brush with some remaining oil. Sprinkle potatoes with rosemary, salt and pepper. Repeat these steps for remaining 2 baking sheets.
• Bake slices in middle of oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. With a metal spatula immediately transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Top potato chips with 1 teaspoon each of caviar and creme fraiche.

CRISPIEST EVER POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
• Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
• Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.

BURNISHED POTATO NUGGETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in water to cover by 2". Season water generously with salt and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer gently until potatoes are tender on the outside but still very firm in the center, 8-10 minutes.
• Pour off water in pot, holding potatoes back. Toss potatoes just enough to rough up their outsides and give them a floury starchy coating (do not toss so vigorously that they fall apart); season with salt.
• Meanwhile, combine both oils in a large roasting pan and heat in oven 10 minutes.
• Carefully remove pan from oven; add potatoes, turning each one to coat and moisten exterior. Return pan to oven and roast potatoes, turning every 10 minutes, for 30 minutes. Toss in garlic and rosemary and cook until potatoes are deep golden brown on most of their sides, 8-10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to a platter and serve with roasted garlic and rosemary alongside.

QUAIL EGGS BENEDICT AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer. Add the vinegar. Gently break the quail eggs, one by one, into the simmering water and poach for 1 minute. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Place one cooled, poached quail egg on each crouton. Top with a little hollandaise sauce and caviar.
• Beat egg yolk. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Beat the egg until thickened, pale yellow and doubled in volume. Remove the bowl from the heat. While beating, slowly add the butter in a slow, but steady stream. When the butter is incorporated, add the lemon juice and Tabasco sauce. Mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

CRISP POTATO CANAPES WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• In a 2-quart saucepan bring 1 quart salted water to a boil.
• Cut potatoes crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Put slices flat on a cutting board and cut each slice into the largest possible rectangle, discarding excess. Halve each rectangle crosswise to form 2 cubes, each about 1 inch in size.
• Simmer potatoes 5 minutes, or until just tender, and drain. Pat potatoes dry thoroughly. With a small melon-ball cutter or knife, scoop out an indentation about 1/3 inch deep in 1 side of each potato cube. Potatoes may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled in an airtight container.
• In a heavy saucepan heat 1 1/2 inches oil over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 350°F. Fry potatoes until golden, 3 to 5, minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Potatoes may be fried 8 hours ahead and kept, covered loosely, at room temperature. Recrisp potatoes in a 375°F. oven 5 minutes.
• Fell indentation in each potato cube with sour cream and top with caviar. Garnish canapés with chives.
