If there’s one thing you’re going to feel while mingling at a Kathy Hilton house party, it’s pampered. The seasoned host and American socialite doesn’t so much as work a room, but floats about, making sure everyone is engaged in sparkling conversation and has enough to eat and drink. She famously serves baked potatoes with an option to top with caviar at these events—the ultimate high/low treat. This combo was a rumored staple of Jackie Kennedy’s diet and something Hilton has kept in the zeitgeist. “I like to have it hot. I use russet potatoes and use a fork to chop up a little bit of the inside of the potato. Then, I add a bit of butter and sour cream and top with caviar,” she says.
When hosting family, Hilton serves potato latkes with the same setup, hold the butter. But she never opts for ready-made blinis because they’re too rubbery. “Instead, I’ll make dollar-sized pancakes with good, old-fashioned Pearl Milling Company Pancake Mix (formerly Aunt Jemima). I don’t know how, but they seem to stay warm if you put them in a cloth napkin-lined basket.”
