Russian Blue Potato Blinis
1 pound Russian Blue potatoes
Salt for boiling water
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 cup sour cream
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Kosher salt and pepper
Oil for frying
Simmer unpeeled potatoes in a gallon of salted water with the vinegar over medium to low heat to cook slowly and evenly. Let potatoes cool to room temperature. Peel and mash potatoes, and put 1 cup in a mixing bowl (reserve remainder for another use). Stir sour cream, whole egg and egg yolks into potatoes, mix well, add flour and chives, mix lightly and season to taste with salt and pepper.
For each pancake, put 1 tablespoon of the batter in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat and cook, turning once, until pancake is golden brown on both sides. Top blinis as desired with creme fraiche, diced onions and a little caviar.
