Smoked Salmon Crisps

Source of Recipe

From "Gatherings" by America's Test Kitchen


Recipe Introduction

"I love finding ways to simplify and modernize classic dishes. This one is a riff on blinis with caviar; I substitute potato chips for the tiny pancakes and readily available (and much more affordable) smoked salmon for the caviar. A dollop of cr�me fra�che (or sour cream), the briny pop of a caper, and a garnish of tender chives (dill or tarragon also work) elevate this simple nosh into something quite special."

List of Ingredients

◦ 16 large potato chips
◦ 4 ounces smoked salmon, cut into 16 pieces
◦ 2 tablespoons cr�me fra�che
◦ 16 capers, patted dry
◦ 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives


Recipe

Top each chip with piece of salmon, then dollop with cr�me fra�che and top with a caper and light sprinkle of chives. Arrange crisps attractively on platter. Serve immediately.

Makes 16 crisps






❧ Notes:

� My preference is for kettle-style potato chips, which tend to be sturdier, but you can use your favorite chip.

� For a fancier presentation, slice the chives on the bias into 1-inch lengths.
