Instructions

1.
Coarsely grate the Jersey Royal potatoes.
2.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This is crucial for crispy blinis.
3.
In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, egg, flour, chives, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well until a batter forms.
4.
Melt half the Jersey butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
5.
Spoon small amounts of the potato mixture into the hot pan, forming small blinis (about 5-6cm in diameter). Avoid overcrowding the pan.
6.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully with a spatula.
7.
Remove the cooked blinis from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
8.
Repeat steps 4-7 with the remaining batter and butter.
9.
To assemble, top each blini with a small piece of smoked salmon and a dollop of Jersey crème fraîche.
10.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh dill.
11.
Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

Squeezing out the moisture from the potatoes is essential for crispy blinis. Don't skip this step!

Adjust the amount of flour if the batter seems too wet. You want a consistency that holds its shape when spooned into the pan.

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder to the potato mixture.

These blinis can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in a warm oven before serving, although they are best when freshly made.
