Cover the top of the cake with the remaining potatoes. Gently press the potatoes down to secure the cakes. Using a metal spatula gently place the cakes in the hot oil. Fry the cakes for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden-brown. Remove the cakes from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the cakes with salt and pepper. Crack each egg into a small cup. When the water is up to a boil. Gently pour the egg into the water. Cook the eggs for about 2 to 2½ minutes.

Spoon the Wild And Exotic Hollandaise over the egg and around the sides. Garnish with the caviar, fried spinach, chives and peppers. This recipe yields 4 servings.
