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)

    Step 2

    Season well with salt and pepper and transfer to a large platter. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon sour cream onto center of each potato slice and top with 1/4 teaspoon caviar.
