Instructions

1.
Boil the Jersey Royal potatoes in salted water until tender (approx. 15-20 minutes). Drain well.
2.
While still warm, pass the potatoes through a potato ricer or mash them thoroughly until smooth. Leaving the skins on adds flavour and texture.
3.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Jersey milk, egg, melted Jersey butter, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
4.
Add the mashed Jersey Royal potatoes to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Add a knob of Jersey butter.
6.
Spoon tablespoons of the potato batter onto the hot pan, leaving some space between each blini.
7.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip gently with a spatula.
8.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
9.
To assemble the blinis, top each one with a spoonful of crème fraîche, a piece of smoked salmon, and a sprinkle of fresh chives and any other seasonal herbs.
10.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of grated nutmeg or lemon zest to the batter.

The batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before using.

If the blinis are browning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.

Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.

Experiment with different toppings such as caviar, pickled onions, or capers.
