|
1/4 lb. bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or shredded cheddar
3 tablespoons petite corn kernels, optional
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Tip: Don't try to substitute small potatoes for new in the original Stuffed New Potatoes recipe or any of its' variations. It's just not the same.____
Bring enough salted water to cover the potatoes to boil in a medium size saucepan. Place the potatoes in the boiling water and reduce the temperature to low. Cover and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Do not overcook.
Remove the potatoes and cool.
Just before serving, cut each potato in half and carefully scoop out a portion of the center with a small spoon or melon baller. (If need be, you can take a very thin slice of potato off the bottom so that it will sit flat.)
Place a small dollop of crème frâiche or sour cream in the center. Top with a pinch of cheese, bacon, and corn. Top with a sprinkling of chives. Makes 24 appetizers.
Stuffing Options:
- Crème Frâiche topped with 1/4 teaspoon black caviar (about 1 1/2 ounces total) and a chive garnish.
- Stuffing: 1/2 cup chopped artichoke hearts with 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and pinch of cayenne pepper. Garnish: 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons shredded lemon peel and 1 teaspoon minced garlic, combined.
- Combine 1/2 cup chopped smoked salmon, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons minced red onion, 1 teaspoon capers, drained, and 1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish.
