This simple, yet very refined dish speaks to Chef Wolfgang Puck's craft: find the best ingredients you can, make everything from scratch and don't overcomplicate. These potatoes with caviar and creme fraiche are a frequent guest at the Oscars, wrapped in gold foil for extra panache. We'd gladly take one of these osetra-topped beauties over a useless statuette anyday.
