Seriously awful.
Hi, Just to start off, I think that I would not like the recipe had i followed it exactly. First, I made the mashed potatoes myself and did not use much oir or cream (i find that store bought ones are a lot oilier). I added the horseradish to the potatoes and fried them on the skillet WITHOUT OIL…1-2 minutes per side. Since these are potato blini, i didn not expect them to be that firm and they looked a lot like “reiberdatschi” (a german potato cake) and so I decided to change the caviar for SMOKED SALMON. I find that the salmon has a much stronger taste and is not as delicate as caviar. I just put a little slice on top of each blini, a very small teaspoon of creme fraiche and made a little sauce with mustard, VERY LITTLE honey, and horseradish and just drizzled a bit on top. I love to have that for dinner with a nice wine and a mixed greens salad with egg. TRY IT…it was actually very easy and delicious!
So I was very disappointed when these came out very heavy. They reminded me of Lisa Douglas’ hotcakes on Green Acres that could be used for anything from a saw blade to a car gasket. I laughed anyway so it was all good. But I’ll try one of Ina’s potato pancake recipes.
the little pancakes were way too heavy. disappointed.
Greasy and really tasted bad. Sorry.
Too soft and greasy for our taste.
These have a great flavor. They are somewhat soft and cannot be stacked when hot. I didn’t have caviar, but topped them with the dill and sour cream. Yum! For those who want firmness, maybe the addition of an egg will bind the ingredients better. For those who like wasabi mashed potatoes the horseradish is similar, and sour cream is always a compliment to potatoes.
We had these for brunch and they were delicious.
