Ingredients

    For potato disks:
    6 small red potatoes, washed but not peeled
    2 tbsp Olive oil
    salt and pepper to taste

    For Caviar:
    2-1/4 ounce can of black olives, drained and finely chopped
    2 tsp Balsamic Vinegar
    1 tbsp minced fresh basil
    1/4 tsp minced garlic, or 1 clove minced
    1/8 tsp red pepper flake or to taste (optional)
    1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper or to taste

    For Layers:
    2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped finely
    2/3 cup sour cream, creme fraiche, or fresh soft goat cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the ends off the potatoes, and slice into 1/4in slices. You should get approximately 30 slices. Toss potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are lightly browned. Allow to cool.
Combine all the caviar ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
When potatoes are cool, spread about a teaspoon of your cream choice on each potato slice. Top with about a teaspoon of the olive caviar and then sprinkle with chives. Makes approximately 30 pieces.
(Fresh cucumber slices may be substituted for the potato if desired.)
