CAVIAR POTATO CHIPS AND LEMON CREAM
There couldn't be anything simpler about this festive cocktail snack, in which potato chips are topped with lemon zest-infused crème fraîche and salmon roe. This dish is more about shopping than cooking. You need to get the salmon roe, available at fishmongers and specialty markets, and some good, small-batch potato chips. But once you have those, it's a snap to assemble. Do so at the last minute so the chips stay nice and crisp.

BAKED POTATOES WITH CRéME FRAICHE AND CAVIAR
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.
CRèME FRAîCHE POTATO SALAD WITH SALMON ROE, GREEN CABBAGE SLAW, AND SMOKED SALMON
Because the crème fraîche melts into the potatoes, this dish has the virtue of tasting lush without appearing overly so. For an even more sumptuous look, give the salad a generous dollop on top.

Steps:
- Make the slaw:
- In a bowl toss together the cabbage, the dill, the oil, the vinegar, and the salt and chill the slaw, covered.
- Make the potato salad:
- Cut the potatoes, unpeeled, into eights and in a steamer set over simmering water steam them, covered for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are just tender. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, toss them while they are still warm with the oil, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste, and let them cool, stirring gently once or twice until they are lukewarm. Add the crème fraîche, the roe, and the lemon juice, stirring the salad gently to avoid breaking up the potatoes.
- Arrange the smoked salmon around the edge of a platter, spread the slaw in the center, and mound the potato salad over the slaw.
BAKED EGGS WITH CRèME FRAîCHE AND SMOKED SALMON
Runny-yolked eggs baked in individual ramekins or custard cups make for a very elegant brunch or light supper. These are bathed in a shallot-steeped crème fraîche and topped with smoked salmon for an especially rich result. Serve them with toast, croissants or crusty bread - something to mop up the last bits of yolk and cream at the bottom of the ramekins. You won't want to leave behind a single drop.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees, and brush six 8-ounce ramekins or ovenproof custard cups with butter. Place the ramekins or cups on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook until very soft, 7 to 10 minutes, reducing heat if necessary to prevent browning.
- Stir in 6 tablespoons cream, the crème fraîche, dill, lemon zest and remaining 1/4 teaspoon. Remove from heat. Divide mixture among the ramekins.
- Crack 2 eggs into each ramekin and float 1 tablespoon of cream on top of each, then sprinkle tops with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are just set, and yolk is still runny, 12 to 16 minutes. (The eggs will look slightly puffed at the sides of the ramekins, but still jiggly in the center and that's O.K. The eggs will continue to cook once out of the oven.) Remove from oven and transfer ramekins onto individual plates for serving.
- To serve, top each ramekin with some of the smoked salmon and a little more dill. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Look for potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Russet potatoes are a good option because they are starchy and hold their shape well.
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes to cook evenly.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes are done when they are easily pierced with a fork.
- Top the potatoes with salmon roe and crème fraîche: The salmon roe and crème fraîche add a delicious and creamy flavor to the potatoes.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: The potatoes are best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Salmon roe-topped baked potatoes with crème fraîche are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal dinner party. The potatoes are fluffy and tender, the salmon roe is briny and flavorful, and the crème fraîche is rich and creamy. These potatoes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
