Potato Blini
kosher salt as required
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 pinch baking soda
1 1/2 large egg yolk
1/4 cup sour cream
225 gm potato
2 tablespoon whole wheat flour
1/2 egg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Step 1
To start with, pre-heat the oven at 220 degree Celsius to bake the potatoes. Wash well the potatoes and prick them using a fork or toothpick. Arrange these potatoes on rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 65 minutes until tender and soft. Then, let it cool and then reduce the temperature to 95 degree Celsius. (NOTE: Use Yukon gold potatoes, if possible instead of the normal potatoes.)
Step 2
Then, take a deep bowl and mix together sour cream, eggs and egg yolks in it. You can use an electric beater to mix all the ingredients. Meanwhile, cut the potatoes in halve and remove the skin. Discard the skin and scoop out the potatoes in a food mill.
Step 3
Add kosher salt, baking soda, all purpose flour, black pepper and nutmegs to the potatoes and mix it in the mill to a fine batter. Make a well in the batter using mill and pour sour cream-eggs mixture in the centre. Mix it again to a smooth batter and then cover it with a damp cloth. Keep this batter aside for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Now, put a non-stick pan on medium flame and heat a little amount of butter in it. Pour one tablespoon of the batter on the pan and spread it with the back of spoon. Ensure the sizes of blinis are still small. Cook until golden brown in colour and the blini is crisp, gently flip to cook on other side as well.
Step 5
Follow the same procedure to make more blinis from the remaining batter. When done, serve warm with your favourite dip or yoghurt.
