Thanksgiving Dinner With Caviar - Some Ideas from Lady Elena

Marscarpone Mashed Idaho Potatoes with Caviar

Allen Susser from Chef Allen's Consulting has created this recipe using Idaho Potatoes and caviar. This recipe makes a suggested 4 servings.

We love the recipe but to make this more accessible to everyone's budget we suggest that you keep the recipe as is but half the serving size. ( Do not worry about not having a 3 inch ring mold.) We also recommend the use of our caviar and the Casual Caviar 1 (Hackleback Caviar) to reduce the cost but still have the great caviar food pairing experience. Also, our caviar is high quality and we do not recommend the use of lemon juice on the greens and have removed it from this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 4 large Idaho® potatoes, peeled
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
• 2 teaspoons butter, room temperature
• 3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
• 1 Meyer lemon (regular lemon may be substituted), washed, zested with microplane 
• 1 ounce of Lady Elena Cavir - Americana Caviar (White Sturgeon) or Casual Caviar 1 (Hackleback)
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• mixed micro greens
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Place your order for Lady Elena Caviar at http://ladyelenacaviar.com/products
2. In medium ovenproof saucepan, bring potatoes to boil with 1 teaspoon salt and water to cover by 3 to 4 inches. Lower to simmer; cook until fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Drain. (If potatoes are still moist, dry slightly in preheated 350°F oven for 10 minutes.)
3. Using manual food mill, mill potatoes into large bowl. Add butter; mash. Add mascarpone, lemon zest, remaining salt and pepper. Mix until just blended.
4. To plate, divide potato mixture among four 3-in. ring molds, gently pressing down with back of a teaspoon dipped in water. Lift molds slightly; top potato mixture with 1/4 oz. caviar, forming a circle of caviar around rim of ring. Place on individual plates; remove ring mold.
5.  Drizzle the mixed micro greens with extra-virgin olive oil, toss and add as garnish to potato rounds.
6. Enjoy the flavor of the caviar with the potato.
