How it's done

Cooking the potatoes

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for approx. 15 mins. until soft. Peel the potatoes, crush them using a potato masher or a fork. Mix in the carrots, milk and egg yolks, season with salt.

Blinis

Mix the flour, nutmeg and yeast and stir into the carrot mixture. Cover the batter and leave to stand for approx. 30 mins. Beat the egg white with the salt until stiff, carefully fold into the batter. Heat a little clarified butter in a non-stick frying pan, reduce the heat. Cook the blinis in batches, using approx. 1 tbsp of batter per blini (approx. 4 cm in diameter), fry for approx. 3 mins. on each side, keep warm.

Carrot salad

Combine the oil and vinegar, season. Using a peeler, peel the carrots, mix into the sauce with the herbs. Serve the salad on top of the blinis.
