Elegant and easy party appetizers featuring crispy roasted baby potatoes topped with a tangy sour cream mixture and luxurious caviar. Perfect for last-minute entertaining with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, washed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream (or Greek yogurt / dairy-free coconut yogurt as substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or chives, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 ounces caviar (or lumpfish/salmon roe as budget-friendly substitute)
  • Zest of half a lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and halve the baby potatoes evenly for uniform cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well coated.
  4. Arrange potatoes cut side down in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until cut side is golden brown and potatoes are tender.
  6. While potatoes roast, mix sour cream, chopped dill or chives, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Adjust salt to taste.
  7. Let roasted potatoes cool for about 5 minutes to prevent sour cream from melting.
  8. Dollop or pipe a small amount of sour cream mixture onto each potato half.
  9. Top each with about 1 teaspoon of caviar.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Use baby or new potatoes for best texture; avoid crowding the pan to keep potatoes crispy. For vegan version, substitute sour cream and caviar with plant-based alternatives. Assemble just before serving to maintain texture. Par-boiling potatoes for 5 minutes can speed cooking but reduces crispiness.
