Cauliflower Purée and Caviar on Cloverleaf Potato ChipsRob Fiocca

Though the chips and purée can be served at room temperature, the caviar should be chilled, so assemble these hors d'oeuvres in batches as platters need replenishing.

Cooks' notes:

·Chips can be made 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature. Recrisp in a 350°F oven 5 minutes.
·Cauliflower purée (without chives) can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature and stir in chives before serving.
