Mini Hasselback Potatoes with Egg Yolk Jam

Ingredients:

Potatoes:

• 1 lb baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

• ½ cup crème fraîche

• 2 tbsp chopped chives or dill (or a mix of both)

Egg Yolk Jam:

• 4 egg yolks

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 1 tbsp water

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a potato between two chopsticks and make thin slices, stopping before cutting all the way through. Repeat with remaining potatoes.

2. Arrange potatoes on a baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Roast for 35-40 minutes, basting once or twice with the pan drippings, until crispy and golden.

3. In a small saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, water, and rice vinegar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened to a jam-like consistency (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

4. Top each potato with a dollop of crème fraîche, a small spoonful of egg yolk jam, and a sprinkle of chives and dill.

5. Best served warm as an elegant appetizer or side dish.
