Deviled Potatoes

Deviled Potatoes

 


One of the last things I ate before completely omitting animal products was deviled eggs.  In fact, I asked my friend to make them for my bridal shower, and I think I ate about 6.  They were so good!  Well, eggs, since they come from an animal, are part of the foods I chose to omit from my diet.  

Hard-boiled and deviled eggs were one of my favorite picnic foods.  I knew I had to find a way to replicate the taste while still maintaining the flair of the food.  Enter potatoes. First, they are a starch, so that is good because they are satiating; second, they can be boiled and scooped out (like potato skins), so that worked; and third, they pair great with mayo and mustard.  

This recipe uses vegan mayo, but we’ve also made them with our Cashew Garlic Aioli and with oil-free hummus for a tasty whole-food, plant-based option! 

So, while the filling of these resembles a potato salad, it perfectly fits into the picnic food and replicates those deviled eggs I loved.

We made these alongside several other picnic recipes and served them to my mom… She loved them!  So, my friends, these Deviled Potatoes are omnivore approved!
