Ingredients
450g Rooster potatoes
2 tablespoons self-raising flour (20g)
2-3 tablespoons crème fraîche, at room temperature (30-45g)
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons of pecorino or parmesan cheese (30g)
Crème fraîche or horseradish cream, herbs (optional)
Method
Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer until potatoes are tender
Drain and peel warm potatoes, press through a very fine mesh sieve. Immediately weigh out 250g pureed potatoes and transfer to a medium bowl
Working quickly, whisk in flour and 2 tablespoons of crème fraîche. Add 1 egg, whisking until the batter is smooth. Add the second egg and whisk until smooth. Finally, add the egg yolk and pecorino. Whisk until batter is smooth and well combined
The consistency should resemble thick pancake batter. If it’s too thick, add a little more crème fraîche.
Season with salt and pepper
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Use two teaspoons of batter per blini, cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Working in batches and wiping the pan with a paper towel with a tiny amount of oil between each batch
