Rosti Potato – Crème Fraiche, Half Ounce Regiis Ova Ossetra Caviar, Chive
A Note From Chef Ken Frank
This dish traces its origin back to 1980 at the original La Toque on Sunset Boulevard, inspired by the potatoes my French girlfriend’s Mom would make us for lunch nearly every Saturday. It’s simply my favorite way to eat caviar. When I find a better recipe we’ll change, but this will be hard to beat. Hot crispy potato on the outside, tender on the inside, cool crème fraiche, a generous spoonful of caviar on top, I never tire of these. I remember when we charged $20 for one of these topped with real wild Caspian Beluga!
