Smoked Salmon Chips
Serves 8
Published in: Atlanta Constitution
2 Idaho potatoes -- scrubbed
Vegetable oil for frying
Dry spice seasoning -- such as Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
Chipotle Cream Cheese (see recipe)
8 ounces smoked salmon
1 small red onion -- diced
2 ounces capers -- drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Preheat a fryer to 350 degrees. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife,
slice the potatoes lengthwise, 1/16 inch thick. Fry in oil on both sides
until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with
seasoning. Cool to warm or room temperature. To assemble, spread about 1
teaspoon Chipotle Cream Cheese on one side of each chip. Top with a small
piece of salmon (about 1/2 tablespoon). Sprinkle with red onion, capers
and chives.
Chipotle Cream Cheese
1 1/2 cups
Hands on: 5 minutes
Total time: 5 minutes
The surprising smoky burn of this spread is what gives Smoked Salmon
Chips their kick. If you are sensitive to spicy-hot foods, you might
want to start with about half the pureed chipotle called for, then add
more according to your tolerance.
3 ounces (1/2 small can) chipotles in adobo sauce
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Place the chipotles and sauce in a food processor and puree until
smooth. Add cream cheese and lime juice and process well. Scrape down
sides of bowl. Add chives, salt and sugar and pulse until
well-combined.

Recipe Notes
8 servings (4 chips each)
Hands on: 30 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Chef Scott Serpas gives the bagel-friendly flavor combo of smoked
salmon, red onion, capers and cream cheese a Southwestern kick with
the addition of pureed chipotle and lime, then turns the whole thing
on its head by serving it on potato chips.
Tester's note: Any leftover toppings are great rolled in a flour
tortilla with fresh spinach leaves.
