Smashed potatoes with crème fraîche and roe

Food writer Ravinder Bhogal’s smashed potatoes with crème fraîche, chives and roe (or caviar if you’re feeling extragavant) make for a seriously decadent starter or sharing dish.

Ravinder says: “These are everything a prelude to a meal should be: salty, creamy, crisp and very, very moreish.”
