📝 Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 300 gm kipfler potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp saffron threads
  • 2 tsp finely chopped thyme
  • 5 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 200 ml crème fraîche
  • Salmon roe, finely grated bottarga and finely sliced chives, to serve

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 11: Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced. Grease and line a 20cm square cake tin with baking paper.
  2. 22: Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over low heat; cook potato, onion, garlic, saffron and thyme, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften (8-10 minutes). Season to taste, add 250ml water, bring to a simmer and cook until water has nearly evaporated, and potato is tender (10-12 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool briefly (20 minutes)
  3. 33: Add egg to potato and gently toss to combine, then season to taste. Transfer to prepared tin and bake until just set (18-20 minutes). Cool to room temperature, then cut into 16 squares.
  4. 44: Whisk crème fraîche until soft peaks form, then season to taste. Arrange tortillas on a large serving platter; top with crème fraîche, salmon roe, bottarga and chives to serve.
