Deviled Potatoes
With egg prices soaring, I decided to try these Deviled Potatoes. Instead of hard-boiled eggs, small potatoes were halved and baked until tender before being gently hollowed. The scooped-out potato flesh was then combined with mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, and a blend of seasonings to create a creamy filling. This mixture was carefully spooned back into the potato shells and topped with crispy chopped bacon and fresh parsley. My only regret? Not tripling the recipe. They were such a hit that they vanished in a flash.
