Directions
*(or substitute nonfat sour cream) **seeded and very small diced
1. To make the chive sour cream: Combine in a small bowl the sour cream, 2 tablespoons chives and the red onion. Cover and refrigerate till needed.
2. To roast the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl toss together the potatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper until well coated.
Spread potatoes out on a baking sheet and place in preheated oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender. Keep warm.
3. To serve: Mix cucumbers with seasoned rice wine vinegar. Let marinate at least 10 minutes. Cut each piece of smoked salmon into 4 pieces. Halve the potatoes lengthwise. If necessary, cut a small slice from the rounded (skin) side of the potato halves so they can stand. Place the potato halves on a platter and top each with a piece of the smoked salmon, folded over to fit the top of the potato. Dollop each one with a teaspoon of the chive sour cream, then a teaspoon of the marinated cucumbers. (Be sure to drain any excess juice off cucumbers before topping potatoes.) Garnish with fresh chives if desired.
