They’re the perfect fusion of a potato skin and a deviled egg, and trust me—they disappear fast at parties.
Why I Love This Recipe
I love anything that reinvents a classic in a fun and delicious way, and deviled potatoes do exactly that. They’re the ideal mashup of crispy, golden-roasted potato shells with a tangy, mayo-based filling that’s spiked with mustard and sprinkled with paprika.
They look elegant on a platter, but they’re incredibly easy to make. Plus, they’re vegetarian-friendly and endlessly adaptable depending on your spice level or filling mood.
🛒 Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes work best)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp mustard
- Paprika, for garnish
🔄 Ingredient Swaps and Notes
- Mayonnaise: Sub with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Mustard: Dijon adds a smooth, mild tang, while yellow mustard gives a classic deviled flavor.
- Add-ons: Try adding chopped pickles, green onions, or crumbled bacon to the filling for a flavor boost.
- Vegan Option: Use plant-based mayo and skip the eggs—just use the mashed potato base with seasoning.
🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash potatoes and cut in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out most of the insides, leaving a ¼-inch thick shell.
- Place the potato halves on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the potatoes are tender.
- In a bowl, mash the scooped-out potato with chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayo, mustard, and additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the creamy mixture back into the roasted potato shells.
- Sprinkle with paprika and serve warm or at room temperature.
💡 Tips for Success
- Use potatoes that are similar in size so they roast evenly and look uniform on a platter.
- Don’t scoop out too much of the potato—leave enough structure to keep them sturdy.
- Make the filling while the shells are roasting to save time.
- For extra decadence, top with a tiny sprinkle of cheese and broil for 2 minutes before serving.
