I made these last night for New Years and they were really delicious -crispy crunchy base with just a touch of smoked salmon and a blend of cream cheese and sour cream. I topped it with capers and because I didn’t have fresh chives I passed on that part but if I could get them I would have. They’re delicious and salty and crunchy and kind of perfect. So very easy to make and perfect for just yourself or a small crowd — I made app. 25 chips and it was perfection on a chip. Next time you need a little appetizer this is wonderful. Simple and sophisticated.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup sour cream

4 oz. cream cheese- softened ( just leave out at room temperature for a while till it’s soft enough to mix with sour cream)

pinch kosher salt

8 oz. smoked salmon ( available in packages in the supermarket)

a few tablespoons capers, drained

a few tablespoons minced fresh chives

25-30 large potato chips, preferable a ripple cut -as you can see chips are uneven in size and it doesn’t matter – I tried to just get whole chips.

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the sour cream and salt until evenly combined and set aside

Take out the largest chips from the bag and I just tried to get whole chips , place a folded small piece of salmon , put a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture ( you can eyeball it) Top each crisp with a few capers and a sprinkle of fresh minced chives.

Arrange the crisps on a platter and serve immediately — they will start to get soggy if they sit around too long. So right before you’re serving finish the recipe.
