Ingredients
  

  • 12 small baby potatoes red or yellow work best
  • 6 tbsp vegan mayo or blended silken tofu for a lighter, protein-rich option
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric for that deviled egg yellow color + subtle earthy flavor
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Smoked paprika & chopped chives for garnish

Instructions
 

Boil the Potatoes

  • Add baby potatoes to a large pot of salted water.
  • Bring to a boil and cook for 12–15 minutes, until fork-tender but not mushy.
  • Drain and let cool completely before handling.

Prep the Potatoes

  • Once cooled, slice each potato in half lengthwise.
  • Use a small spoon, teaspoon, or melon baller to carefully scoop out a little of the center to form a small well—just enough to hold the filling.

Make the Filling

  • Mash the scooped-out potato centers in a bowl until smooth.
  • Add in vegan mayo, Dijon mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix until super creamy and well-blended. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Fill the Potatoes

  • Use a small spoon or pipe the mixture into each potato half.
  • Tip: If you’re going for presentation, load the filling into a zip-top bag, snip a corner, and pipe like a pro!

Garnish & Serve

  • Finish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and chopped chives on top.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

✨ Make It Creamier: Add a splash of unsweetened plant-based milk or extra vegan mayo if the filling feels too thick.
✨ Spice It Up: Mix in cayenne pepper, hot sauce, or horseradish for a kick.
✨ Meal Prep Magic: These store great! Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
✨ No Piping Bag? Use a sandwich bag with the corner cut off to easily fill the potatoes.
✨ Party-Ready Tip: Double the batch—they disappear FAST.
