Easy Smoked Salmon Appetizer: Potato Bites

Ingredients

• 48 tater tots (thawed )
• Baking spray or olive oil spray (for greasing the muffin pan)
• 4 oz smoked salmon ((aka lox or gravlax))
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)
• 1-2 scallions ((green onions), chopped, or use chives)
• 2 tablespoons capers (drained)
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for drizzling)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or according to package instructions). Lightly grease the cups of a mini muffin tin.

2. 2

   Press two tater tots into each cup. This works best if you use a round spoon or another object to smush the tater tots into the tin.

3. 3

   Bake according to package instructions (typically 20-25 minutes), or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy around the edges.

4. 4

   Remove the tater tots from the oven, and use the spoon to push into the center of the cooked tater tots once again, creating a "cup" shape.

5. 5

   In a bowl, shred the smoked salmon with a fork. Add the lemon juice, green onion, and capers.

6. 6

   Top each cup with the salmon mixture and a small dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. Serve immediately.
