Easy bite sized deviled potatoes with a creamy filling, just like deviled eggs but CHEAPER. Freezer friendly and easy to make ahead! Disclaimer, not vegan.
Optional: chopped green onions and paprika for garnish
Instructions
Prepare potatoes by washing and slicing lengthwise. Add salt and water to a large pot and heat to boiling over high heat. Add potatoes and boil for 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the potato. Should be soft enough to pierce with a knife.
Remove potatoes and rinse in a cold water bath to cool.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle safely, scoop out the middles carefully with a spoon or melon baller. Tip: I sacrifice 2 potato halves and scoop out the entire potato from the skin to use so there's enough filling to generously fill the rest of the potatoes.
In a bowl combine the potato insides, mayo, mustard (start with 1 teaspoon then more to taste), pickle juice, and all spices: garlic & onion powder, salt & pepper. You can mix in a stand mixer or electric mixer if you want the filling to be more smooth.
Spoon or pipe the filling back into the potatoes using a scoop or round or open star pastry tip.
Garnish with paprika and/or green onions. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Notes:
You can use sweet or dill pickle juice, whichever you prefer.
I recommend sacrificing 2 potato halves and using the insides for filling so you can fill the other potatoes above the rim.
These can be served warm or cold, but refrigeration is needed before serving since there is mayonnaise in them.
Refrigerate for up to 4-5 days Freeze for up to 3 months.
