New Potatoes with Vegan Cream Filling and Balsamic "Caviar"
Tiny new potatoes are filled with a savory vegan cream, topped with balsamic “caviar” and sprinkled with coarse sea salt and fresh chives. An elegant vegan appetizer that everyone will love!
You can prep this recipe a day in advance, assembling just before serving.
I regularly make my own cashew sour cream and vegan ricotta, and you can find those recipes here:
Cashew Sour Cream
Vegan Ricotta
Both keep for 5-7 days in the refrigerator.
Balsamic “caviar” is made using spherification, a process that might sound complicated but is actually quite easy and very fun to do. Here’s the recipe:
Balsamic Caviar
It keeps for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
- 12 small new potatoes
- 1/4 cup Vegan Ricotta
- 1/4 cup Cashew Sour Cream
- 3 Tablespoons Balsamic “Caviar”
- Snipped fresh chives
- Coarse sea salt (I use Maldon)
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Boil the whole new potatoes in salted water until just tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Cut a small sliver off of each end of each potato, then cut each potato in half. This will create two identical halves that easily sit flat.
- Using a small spoon or tiny melon baller, gently carve out the center of each potato half, leaving a small ring of potato intact around the outside edge and in the bottom. Sprinkle each half with coarse sea salt. Transfer to a serving platter.
- Combine vegan ricotta and cashew sour cream in a small bowl. Use a piping bag or small spoon to fill each potato half with the cream mixture.
- Top with balsamic “caviar” and snipped fresh chives. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Notes
You can prep the potatoes (steps 1-3) up to 24 hours in advance, storing the potato halves in the refrigerator covered in plastic wrap. Bring to room temperature just before filling and serving.
