When it comes to entertaining I'm a selective cheapskate. I thrive on figuring out how to get the most bang out of minimal bucks for things like decor, so that I can splurge on a few fantastic ingredients, like high-quality American caviar for this dish. When throwing a party I love doing something really easy that looks and tastes fabulous. This is one such example — a hearty scoop of American caviar atop a bite of petite potato salad inside a shot or martini glass. If using shot glasses, serve it with mini plastic spoons, which can be found at ice cream stores. For martini glasses, go with teaspoons or demitasse spoons.
Ingredients

Make potatoes:
Step 1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Boil the potatoes until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool immediately; set aside.
Make dressing:
Step 2
In a mixing bowl combine the sour cream, sparkling wine, chives, and lemon zest.
Assemble:
Step 3
Add the well-drained, cooled potatoes to the dressing and gently mix until combined. Fill 8 shot glasses almost to the rim with potato salad. (You can also use 4 martini or other glasses, Chinese soupspoons, or other small containers.) Top with 1/4 ounce of caviar. Serve immediately or keep chilled until service.

Back to Topa recipe I chose for our Gourmet Supper Club menu last night. I did not make it but assigned it to someone else. FABULOUS!!!!!!! Oh, we did about a 1/2 cup of champagne because well...we were drinking it!

I made just the dressing as I was looking for something to do with leftover NYE champagne. The dressing is yummy! I used lowfat sour cream, but otherwise followed the recipe and it's delicious. I had this with chilled asparagus. I look forward to making it with the potatoes and caviar.

Another vessel to use is a 2 ounce sherry glass. Made a caviar parfait using this recipe's dressing for my potatoes although I only needed 1 tater for 8 servings. Placed the dressed potatoes as the bottom layer, followed by a minced 9 minute hard boiled egg layer. Followed by minced shallots, a layer of caviar,creme fraiche ( to replace the sour cream) and a small dollop of caviar to finish..sorta like cherry. I used a 4 ounce tin of caviar which made for distinctive layers and a beautiful presentation. Oh yes and wooden forks are reasonable in price, look nice on the table and more readily available than spoons.

I was so inspired by the presentation idea that I went to search for a source for beautiful jewel-toned gelato tasters that I'd seen at an ice cream store. I found them at a site called villadolcegelato "dot" com, but I'm not sure I can use 6 thousand of them! If you're a stickler for presentation, you might want to check them out. Very pretty.
