Salmon-Roe-Topped Baked Potatoes With Crème Fraîche image

A riff on a recipe for a potato stuffed with rosemary and pork rillettes from Nigel Slater, the British food writer, this version relies on salmon roe and crème fraîche. The pairing is, as Ms. Clark wrote, "a briny, creamy analogue" to a porky version. Try it as a bright and festive appetizer during the holidays, or skip the salmon roe for a still-satisfying meal.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 large servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large russet potatoes (10 to 12 ounces each), scrubbed well
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup crème fraîche, more for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 teaspoons chopped chives
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces salmon roe, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Rub potatoes with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pierce twice with a fork (don't worry if some salt falls off). Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until skin is crispy and insides are tender when pierced with a fork, 60 to 70 minutes.
  • When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, use a sharp knife to slice off tops. Scoop out insides, leaving about 1/4 inch around skin; transfer potato flesh to a bowl. Add crème fraîche, butter, chives, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper; mash with a fork until combined.
  • Stuff potato skins with potato mixture. Return potatoes to oven and bake until heated through, about 10 minutes. Run under broiler for another 1 to 2 minutes until tops are golden brown and crisp. Serve hot, topped with salmon roe and additional crème fraîche, if desired.

I'm allergic to salmon, so I made this recipe with trout roe instead. It was just as delicious!

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. The salmon roe and creme fraiche were a bit too heavy for me.

I'm not a big fan of salmon roe, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and the creme fraiche was a great addition.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover salmon roe. I always have some on hand after making sushi, and this is a great way to use it up.

This recipe was a disaster! The potatoes were undercooked and the salmon roe was way too salty. I had to throw the whole thing away.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I'm not a very experienced cook, so I had some trouble following the instructions. The potatoes turned out okay, but they weren't as good as I had hoped.

The salmon roe was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise this recipe was great. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less salmon roe next time.
