Appetizers

Photography: James Carrier ;Styling: Smoked Trout

Notes: For the most intense smoky flavor and deepest gold color, use a charcoal barbecue. To present smoked trout as an appetizer, serve on thin triangles of Westphalian-style pumpernickel bread with sour cream, chopped red onion, and lemon wedges. For a salad, combine chunks of smoked trout, hot or cold, with green salad mix and a vinaigrette dressing. As a main dish, serve trout hot with boiled small thin-skinned potatoes, melted butter, and lemon wedges. Chill smoked trout airtight up to 1 week or freeze up to 1 month.

Deviled Potatoes

Prep: 30 min., Bake: 55 min., Cool: 45 min., Chill: 2 hr. Baking the potato shells before filling them sets the shape (so they will not break when picked up) and enhances the flavor. Don't overmix—the texture will be gummy instead of creamy. Petite indicates a potato about the size of a plum tomato.

Chorizo-Beef Nachos

The ultimate crowd-pleaser, nachos were invented in 1943 by a maître d' in Piedras Negras, Mexico (just south of the Texas border). Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, working a solo shift at the Victory Club restaurant, cobbled together a pile of tortilla chips topped with melted cheese and pickled jalapeños for a group of U.S. military wives in for a snack. His creation became hugely popular, paving the way for massive concession-stand revenues across America.
