Parsnip and potato pancakes with clotted cream and caviar

Ingredients for 4 servings:

400 g potatoes
5 parsnips
3 eggs
200 g of flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ teaspoon ground coriander
200 g sour cream
caviar for serving
200 ml frying oil

Preparation:

  1. Place the sour cream in a cheesecloth folded into at least four layers. Tie the cloth with string to a baking spatula or spoon and suspend it over a bowl so that the cream does not touch the bottom. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours to allow the whey to drain. It’s recommended to do this the day before serving.
  2. Attach a food processor with the smallest grating attachment. Grate the potatoes and parsnips.
  3. Season the grated vegetables with salt, stir, and let them rest for at least 15 minutes.
  4. After 15 minutes, drain the vegetables using a clean kitchen towel, squeezing out all excess liquid.
  5. Combine the vegetables in a bowl with the eggs, flour, and pepper.
  6. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the pancakes on both sides for about 3 minutes each, until golden brown. Place the fried pancakes on a plate lined with a napkin to absorb excess oil.
  7. While frying the pancakes, preheat the oven to 200°C in fan mode.
  8. Once all pancakes are fried, transfer them to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and finish cooking in the oven. Bake for 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve the finished pancakes with the drained sour cream and caviar.
