Museum Of Science & History New Potatoes W/ Caviar

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 12 new potatoes, do not peel
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, i use more because i like it garlicy
• 1 (1 ounce) jar caviar

Recipe

• 1 gently boil the potatoes in salted water, until tender. try not to allow the skins to crack. set aside to cool.
• 2 mix remaining ingredients (except caviar) until smooth and creamy. chill for about 30 minutes.
• 3 when potatoes are cool enough to handle, and sour cream mixture is chilled- slice each potato in half. using a small melon baller, or spoon- scoop out a small well in the middle. try to leave some of the potato on the sides and bottom for support. cut a small slice from the bottom (uncut) side of the potato so they will lay flat on a platter and not roll around.
• 4 fill the well of the potatoes with the sour cream/cream cheese mixture. if you want to be a fancy nancy, use a piping bag- otherwise just use a spoon.
• 5 *using a plastic spoon* (this is important because caviar takes on a metallic taste if you use a metal utensil. technically you're supposed to use a spoon made out of pearl- if you're lucky enough to own one of these, then go nuts) top each of the potatoes with a tiny blob of caviar.
• 6 you could also top these w/ sprigs of fresh dill, or a sprinkling of chives, however i don't care for either, so i leave it out.
