4 large Russet potatoes, peeled, set in water
1 small onion, peeled
2 tsp. baking powder
½ cup flour
1 cup apple jelly or jam
1 cup crème fraiche or sour cream
Caviar and chives
canola oil for frying
MEthod
Grate the potatoes and onion into a bowl, then
place them in a strainer over another bowl so that
most of the water drains out. (Or you can place them
in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the water.)
Salt and pepper the mixture and add the baking
powder and flour and mix well.
In a large frying pan, heat the oil to frying tem-
perature, about 360.
Using a large spoon, drop the batter into the oil, forming miniature
pancakes, frying them until they are golden brown. Turn only once, frying
again until golden on the second side. Remove to paper towels to drain.
Keep the pancakes warm in s 200º oven.
Serve the pancakes by topping with plenty of apple jam and crème fraiche.
Garnish with snipped chives and a tiny dollop of caviar.

Fresh basil leaves
16 10-inch wooden skewers

gently push skewer through. Tear a
basil leaf and push the skewer through
so that the leaf rests on the cherry
tomato half. Push a skewer through
a Mozzarella ball. Then push another
portion of basil leaf through the skewer
so that it rests on top of the Mozzarella
ball. Finally, run the skewer through
the other half of the cherry tomato with

of tomato halves, basil leaves and Mozzarella balls.
