Answer 2

If you are havng a party with adults mostly or where you might want to impress someone with something that is easy to make try these...

Get a pound or two of some small potatoes. the mini kind--red potatoes are good. Fill a pan with enough water to completely immerse the potatoes. Use a fork to prick all the potatoes to cook faster. Boil potatoes until done---the time depends on how many you cook. Best way to know when done is just stick a fork in one and if it cleanily slides in and out then it is done. Remove from flame. Drain water. Rinse with cold water. Set aside until cool enough to touch but not cold. Cut each potato on the bottom just enough to make a flat surface so you can place them on a tray later without them falling over.

Next, cut potato on the top a little bit and scoop out some of the potaoto until you get halfway down the potato, this is to make room for the sour cream which is next. This is trial and error you may mess up one or two but just eat those and try again. Once you have scooped out about half of the insides set aside and do the rest of the potatoes the same way. Once all done take a spoon and fill the potatoes with sour cream and place on a tray in the fridge. On the day of the party top off the potato and sour cream appetizers with a tiny dollop of black or red caviar. Best you do this about an hour before the party.

Place tray out for people to pick up and pop in their mouth. It is surprisingly easy and good and some people think classy because of the caviar. Which is actually kinda cheap at around 6 bucks for a small jar at a good grocery store. Impressive, tasty and idiot proof---my favorite kind of appetizer. Also caviar goes great with Champagne during New Years festivities.

If you have a Costco card go get a jar of their marinated sundried tomatoes. I have a stick (Immersion) blender that I use to mix this with sour cream. It makes a great dip for Costco's Pita chips and it can stay in the fridge for 3-4 days. I make this for Christmas eve and it is always a hit. I add some fresh garlic to the dip too.
