I'm looking for a unique but easy to make appetizer

In the thread below, I put a recipe for crawfish beignets and sauce. It's easy. Made with pasta and you can make them ahead of time and fry them just before serving. The recipe makes a lot of them. You can half it or whatever.

Check the recipe book in the recipe thread at the top of this page, also.

Here's a dip/spread thread in which you might find some ideas.

Look at the link below and scroll down to the shrimp and mini muffin cakes. Also a make ahead app that is different and very good.

SALT POTATOES -

Easy - only 5 ingredients, if you include the water you boil the potatoes in.

Ingredients - 2 containers Morton's salt (in the blue canisters), 5 lbs. small red potatoes, sour cream, and Knorr's vegetable soup mix.

Bring pot of water to boil and add salt and potatoes. Boil until tender. Use a slotted spoon to lift the potatoes out of the water and let dry on a paper towels. As the potatoes dry, the salt will crystallize on the outside of the potatoes - making them look frozen.

Mix sour cream and soup mix (you can use any dip you want, really) and serve with the potatoes.

Presentation: I like to put a box of ice cream salt on a platter and put the potatoes on top of that (with the dip in a bowl in the center of the platter and the potatoes surrounding it). This gives the impression that the potatoes are frozen and sitting on a plate of ice crystals.

Literally as easy as boiling potatoes.
