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
