Cream Cheese Stuffed New Potatoes
- Salt
- 24 bite-size new potatoes, scrubbed, with a tiny sliver cut off each potato so they will stand after filling
- 1 (5-ounce) package soft garlic herb cheese (recommended: Boursin)
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened
- 1/3 cup whipping cream
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- Red caviar, for garnish, optional
- In a large pot with plenty of salted water, boil the potatoes until they are tender when a fork is inserted, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Drain and let the potatoes cool until you can handle them.
- With a melon baller, remove a scoop from each potato.
- Combine the cheese, butter, and cream.
- Taste, and add salt and pepper, as needed.
- Spoon or pipe the cheese mixture into the potatoes.
- Garnish with a fine sprinkling of parsley.
- *Cook's Note: Add a tiny dollop of red caviar to carry out your egg theme, if you wish!
- Stand potatoes on cut end on a platter to serve.
