  • 12.5 oz brown butter
  • ¼ lemon
  • 25 g creme fraiche
  • 15 g herb salad
  • 5 g fried shallots
  • 2 organic caviar limes from Good Land Organics

HERB SALAD:

  1. Combine 5 g each of fresh Thai basil, mint, and cilantro (washed and spun dry)
  2. Toss with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt in a small mixing bowl

SWEET POTATO SMASH:

  1. Melt butter over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally to cook evenly
  2. Check and whisk every 5 minutes, making sure solids don’t stick to the bottom of the pan
  3. When butter reaches toasty-brown color and gives off a nutty aroma, take the pan off of the heat
  4. Place the browned butter into a heat-proof bowl to cool and solidify, making sure to collect all the caramelized milk solids
  5. Once completely cooled, whisk together the brown butter and white miso and set aside
  6. Wash sweet potatoes and steam until internal temperature reaches 200 degrees
  7. Take sweet potatoes and carefully tear into large chunks lengthwise, exposing the flesh
  8. Fry until edges are crispy
  9. Coat a metal bowl with a thin layer of brown butter miso
  10. After draining the oil from the potatoes, add them into the bowl
  11. Gently fold the potatoes with a large metal spoon so that they are evenly coated with the miso
  12. Place the potatoes in a bowl in one single layer, with some overlap
  13. Top with fresh lemon juice and creme fraiche drizzle
  14. Garnish with herb salad and fried shallots
  15. Finish with pearls from caviar limes
