Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds small red new potatoes (about 2 inches each)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 8 ounces Nova lox or smoked salmon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • to taste Capers for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Begin by washing the small red new potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a large pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
  2. Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for a few minutes until they are easy to handle.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, place the cooled potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Toss them to coat evenly and spread them out in a single layer. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are golden and slightly crispy on the outside.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Once the potatoes have cooled slightly and are roasted, slice them in half. Using a small spoon or a piping bag, dollop a generous amount of the yogurt and cream cheese mixture onto each potato half.
  6. Top each potato with a piece of Nova lox or smoked salmon, followed by a sprinkle of chopped fresh dill. Finally, garnish with capers for an extra burst of flavor.
  7. Arrange your Mini Lox Potatoes Appetizers on a serving platter and get ready to wow your guests! These bites are best served fresh but can also be made in advance and assembled just before serving.

Notes

  • Choose high-quality lox for the best flavor.
  • Roast the potatoes until golden for a crispy texture.
  • Customize toppings with different herbs or vegetables.
