Taramasalata with Potato
- 1 large (about 10 ounces) russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 4 ounces tarama (about 1/2 jar), preferably carp or cod fish roe
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 to 1 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
- Olives, for garnish
- Bread, for serving
- Place the potato in a small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat and simmer until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Drain the potato and set aside to dry for a few minutes, until cool enough to handle.
- Using a food processor, mixer, or mortar and pestle, blend together the potato, roe, shallot, and lemon juice while gradually drizzling in the oil until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and shape it into a loaf or mound.
- Sprinkle the cilantro over the top, and arrange the olives around the edges.
- Serve accompanied by the bread.
