Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 potato
• 8 slices white sandwich bread
• ½ cup carp roe
• ½ cup olive oil, or more if needed
• 2 Greek olives (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick the potato in several places with a fork and place on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Bake the potato in the preheated oven easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool completely in refrigerator. Peel and chop.

Step 3

Place the bread slices in a shallow dish; pour the milk over the bread to cover completely. Allow to soak a few minutes before squeezing as much moisture as possible from the bread, discarding the milk.

Step 4

Blend the bread, potato, carp roe, onion, lemon juice, and olive oil together in a food processor until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add more olive oil if needed to reach a desired consistency; chill. Garnish with the Greek olives to serve.
