Method

1
To make the blinis, place the flour in a bowl with the salt and nutmeg. Stir in the egg and egg yolk, then whisk in the milk until the mix is smooth
2
Ensuring the potato is free from lumps, add to a pan or microwave and gently warm through. Fold the warm potato and the cream cheese into the batter to combine, cover and leave to rest in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes
3
To cook the blinis, add a dash of clarified butter or vegetable oil to a non-stick pan. Place on a medium heat and add a level tablespoon of the batter to the pan for each blini. Cook until golden on the bottom, then carefully turn over and cook to achieve a uniform colour all over
4
Remove the blinis from the pan and place on kitchen towel to absorb any excess oil. Repeat until all of the batter has been used
5
Serve the caviar in a bowl over ice, with a quenelle of the sour cream on the side and a plate of the blinis
