Preparing the ingredients brings out the vibrant flavors and colors of the dish.
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the baby gold potatoes to remove any dirt, then poke each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender. You can test their doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the center.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, carefully cut the top third off each potato and scoop out the insides, leaving a small layer of potato to help maintain their shape.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the scooped potato with the hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Spoon or pipe the deviled mixture back into the hollowed potato skins, making sure to fill each generously.
- Finish with a sprinkle of paprika and garnish with fresh chives for a pop of color.
- Serve your delightful Deviled Potatoes to eager guests and enjoy the smiles that follow!
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: Feel free to use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter option, or switch out the mustard for a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Optional Variations: Try adding crispy bacon bits or finely chopped pickles to the filling for added texture and flavor. You can also experiment with different herbs like dill or parsley.
- Storage and Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or enjoy them cold as a savory snack.
