Caviar Baby Potatoes Appetizer

Caviar Baby Potato Appetizer

Caviar for NYE

This  caviar baby potato appetizer is one of my favorite recipes to make as it is so easy, elegant and delicious! Growing up, I actually didn’t really like caviar because I had not ever had good caviar. Scott and I say the exact same thing about Champagne. Most people who say they don’t like bubbles, probably have never had true Champagne from Champagne.

There’s nothing more romantic than enjoying a fantastic bottle of Champagne on your boat, watching a gorgeous sunset!

Our favorite food pairing with caviar is with Brut Rosé Champagne.  After owning our wine shop for eleven years, we fell in love with Champagne. The producers we love are Laurent-Perrier, Egly-Ouriet, Billecart-Salmon, Vilmart, Drappier, Besserat de Bellefon, Henriot , Chartogne-Taillet, Gonet-Medeville and Jacques Copinet .

Fish Eggs?

If you can find good quality roe, you will be hooked. Lately, I have been buying my caviar at Whole Foods. Their Caviar Russe Siberian Sturgeon is fantastic and very elegant. I prefer the smaller roe than the big ones for appetizers. Watch for their sales, as I have lucked out being able to buy an ounce on sale for $35, normally $60.

This recipe takes about 35 minutes to prepare and you can make it about 3 hours ahead of time. Be sure to bring it out about 30-45 minutes before serving for room temperature.  Enjoy and Happy New Year! Scott & Ally

Smoked Salmon Potato Chip Appetizers

Smoked Salmon Potato Chip Appetizers Recipe

For your next gathering, be sure to make these smoked salmon potato chip appetizers! They are so easy, elegant and perfect for entertaining on your boat or during your next cocktail party. In this recipe, I use lox style smoked salmon. it’s much more delicate and the presentation is gorgeous. One of my favorite smoked salmon brands lox style is Echo Falls Beechwood Smoked Atlantic Canape’ Slice Salmon. You can find it at your local grocery store.

There are many appetizers out there that are beautiful & tasty, but the prep time can really be an issue. What I love about this recipe, is you can whip it together in just a few minutes. You can even make ahead and refrigerate about 45 minutes before serving. Folks will gobble these up, so plan on making at least four chips per person.

Most galleys are on a boat are small and don’t offer a lot of prep space. That’s why I try to make items that don’t require mixing bowls or lots of counter space.  If you have a favorite recipe that you make on your boat, please share with us.  Enjoy! Scott & Ally
