Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise (or regular mayonnaise)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on.
Place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. You should be able to pierce them easily with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool until they are safe to handle, about 10 minutes.
Once cooled, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the center of each half with a small spoon or melon baller, being careful not to break the skin, and place the scooped-out centers in a small mixing bowl.
Mash the potato centers with a fork until smooth.
Add vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potato mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well-combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill the hollowed-out potato halves with the mashed potato mixture, mounding slightly.
Sprinkle smoked paprika over the filled potato halves for garnish. Optionally, add chopped chives on top for a fresh, colorful touch.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving. Enjoy your Mock Deviled Eggs!
