Ingredients

    • 1 pound russet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and grated
    • ½ cup grated sweet onion
    • 2 large eggs, beaten
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
    • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
    • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
    • 2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more as needed
    • Crème fraîche
    • Osetra caviar

Instructions

Step 1

Place grated potatoes and onion on a double layer of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible.

Step 2

Transfer the squeezed vegetables to a large bowl. Add the beaten eggs and stir to coat evenly.

Step 3

Stir in flour, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, pepper, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Mix until the batter is well combined and cohesive.

Step 4

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture per cake into the skillet, flattening each into a ¼-inch-thick patty.

Step 5

Cook until golden brown and crisp on both sides, 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with some of the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding oil as needed between batches. Top each cake with a dollop of crème fraîche and a touch of caviar. Serve warm.
