Happy New Year!
Janette just flew back in from being home in Kentucky for Christmas, so we decided to have a low-key NYE at home like the old people we are.
We wanted to keep our menu very simple, yet classic. Caviar is a staple New Year’s Eve food, so I knew I wanted to make some sort of dish with it.
My absolute favorite place to get caviar in LA is from Petrossian. They have a cafe and boutique at their West Hollywood location. Lunch at the cafe is one of my favorite ways to spend a lazy afternoon. It’s the perfect place to have a special lunch date or bougie brunch.
Their menu is (obviously) loaded to the brim with caviar dishes. One of my favorites has always been the caviar fries. I decided it would be the perfect dish to recreate and munch on while we lounged on the couch watching movies. (If you’re not Netflix & chillin’ with caviar fries, GET ON MY LEVEL!)
Want to know the best part of this dish? I used FROZEN fries. ? That’s right, I put 20 grams of some of the finest caviar on frozen french fries…and you know what? It was INCREDIBLE and only took about 15 minutes to put together! Bougie with a side of lazy – that’s truly Janica style!
For the fry sauce, I decided to make a lemon creme fraiche. I simply took some creme fraiche I purchased at the grocery store and whipped it together with fresh lemon juice. It is the perfect compliment to the salty seafood taste of the caviar and the savory fries. ?
We had a great time snacking on these caviar fries and washing them down with a little champagne. It was a very fun way to ring in the New Year! Next time I need to make an impressive brunch dish, this is going to the top of my list.
