Add about a 1/4 cup (or more) of sour cream and a hearty spoonful or two of the horseradish dipping sauce and it becomes a smoked salmon dip. Please note that two large baking sheets are needed for this recipe due to the amount of puff pastries that are being made. This recipes makes around 18-24 appetizers.
