Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with 1/2 cup of olive oil, rosemary, and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Coat a small roasting pan with the remaining olive oil and put the potatoes in the pan, cut-side down. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the potatoes are tender on the inside and golden on the outside.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly and then arrange on a serving platter. Serve the potatoes with the creme fraiche, caviar, and chives for self-service hors d'oeurves. This goes great with champagne. If you wish, spread each potato with a 1/4 teaspoon of creme fraiche and 1/2 teaspoon caviar instead of dipping.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Wash potatoes and place on 2 lightly oiled cookie sheets. Bake for about 30 minutes.
- Cool potatoes before handling.

ROASTED BABY POTATOES WITH EGGPLANT CAVIAR AND CREME FRAICHE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a cooling rack into a baking sheet.
- Halve the eggplant lengthwise and score the flesh by making three long cuts down the middle and sides, making sure not to pierce the skin. Salt the eggplant and then place it
- cut-side down on the prepared cooling rack for 30 minutes to release moisture.
- Turn the eggplant over and remove the cooling rack. Using paper towels, dry the eggplant and the baking sheet of any moisture. Cut the eggplant into 1-inch cubes and place back on the baking sheet. Scatter the garlic cloves among the eggplant. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with the smoked paprika and some salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast until the eggplant is completely soft and browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
- Lightly oil a baking sheet. Toss the potatoes in a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Place the potatoes cut-side down on the oiled baking sheet and roast until tender, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
- Scrape the cooled eggplant into the bowl of a food processor and squeeze the roasted garlic out of its peels into the food processor. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, mint and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and puree until smooth. Add the shallot and tomato and pulse to combine. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
- To serve, scoop out a cavity in each potato half with a paring knife or small spoon. Fill with the "eggplant caviar" and top with a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.
CAVIAR SANDWICH
I now prefer the caviar sandwich to all other more classic presentations at the holidays. All that caviar crammed into a sandwich makes me feel giddy and extravagant and very lucky to be alive the second I set eyes on it. Context is everything; what I could reasonably splurge for would feel forlorn if showcased on a proper silver trolley atop a mound of shaved ice with a mother-of-pearl spoon at the ready on its nearby velvet pillow, but here, by contrast, in the context of a lowly sandwich, it feels as decadent as if I were eating caviar straight out of the tin, like a midnight pint of ice cream. Buy the caviar you most prefer from a retailer you trust the most-the most expensive may by no means necessarily be your favorite-- and see if this luscious sandwich doesn't make you feel pretty giddy, too.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche, scallions, black pepper and kosher salt. Stir aggressively with a rubber spatula until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the crème fraîche is smooth and spreadable. Set aside.
- Bring a small pot of water to boil over medium-high heat. Carefully lower your eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon, taking care not to crack the shells. Cook the eggs for 7 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a gentle boil. Remove eggs to a bowl of ice water, and cool completely. Gently crack eggs all over, peel and roughly chop. Set aside.
- Toast white bread until light golden brown. Remove from toaster, and butter each slice, as we say, wall to wall.
- Repeat with the scallion crème fraîche so that both halves of each sandwich have an even schmear.
- Spread an even layer of chopped egg on 4 slices (of the total of 8 slices) of toast.
- Evenly dot the caviar on top of the chopped egg.
- Sprinkle chives on top of the caviar.
- Place the remaining 4 slices of crème-fraîche toast on top of the egg-caviar side. Press down very gently, and slice in half on the bias. Serve at once.

Steps:
- Place eggs in a small pan, and cover with water. Bring to a gentle simmer, and cook 9 minutes. Drain, and peel while still warm. Slice in half lengthwise; remove yolks, reserving whites on a serving platter.
- Place still-warm yolks in a small bowl, and mash with a fork. Add crème fraîche, mustard and finely sliced chives, and continue mashing until very smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne. Cut remaining chives into pieces 1/2 inch long.
- Using a pastry bag with a small ( 1/4 inch) round tip, pipe the mixture into the cavity of each white, filling it completely and making a small walnut-size mound above the white. At the picnic, spoon a little caviar on top of each egg and garnish with pieces of sliced chive.
CAVIAR WITH HOUSE-MADE POTATO CHIPS AND LEMON CRèME FRAICHE
I have been cooking the Feast of the Seven Fishes in my house for so many years and this dish is one of my favorites. I love to snack on this in the kitchen while I'm cooking up the rest of the big meal. Caviar is a specialty item, but you can easily make it work in your price range.

Very simple and ultra-delicious, these special baked potatoes will make a wonderful starter, side, or even a light main for all kinds of celebratory gatherings. Martha likes to use Yukon Gold potatoes as their thin skin crisps up nicely in the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in center. Bake potatoes directly on rack until darkened slightly, beginning to wrinkle, and easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 to 1 1/2 hours (depending on size).
- Working one at a time, immediately wrap potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and slam down onto a countertop (this ensures a light, fluffy texture). Slash potatoes to open, season, and top generously with dollops of crème fraîche and scoops of caviar. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a luxurious appetizer, serve the tartlets with a dollop of caviar and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- To save time, use store-bought puff pastry dough.
- To make the crème fraîche more flavorful, add a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, dill, or tarragon.
- If you don't have a tartlet tin, you can use a mini muffin tin instead.
- Be sure to prick the bottom of the tart shells with a fork before baking to prevent them from puffing up too much.
- For a crispy tart shell, brush the edges of the dough with an egg wash before baking.
- Serve the tartlets warm or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Caviar and crème fraîche tartlets are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any special occasion. They are easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making them a great option for busy hosts. With their delicate flavor and beautiful presentation, these tartlets are sure to impress your guests.
