Tips: 
  • Do not substitute regular paprika for smoked paprika; it is important to enhance the full-flavor of this recipe.
  • If purchasing canned diced-tomatoes look for fire-roasted - it's a nice addition to the flavor.
  • This dip can be served with roasted cauliflower, crackers, chips or as a sauce for shrimp or fish.
  • The recipe is shown with sliced potatoes that have been lightly browned – delicious combination.
