Deviled Potatoes

Vegan deviled eggs aka a plant based take on the classic recipe, these little potato bites are the perfect appetizer.

Traditionally made for Easter but perfectly delicious all year long. From Sunday brunch to game day, summer barbecue and Thanksgiving dinner, no occasion is too big or small for this delicious finger food.

Ingredient Notes + Tips

  • Choosing the Potatoes – Ideally choose a potato you don’t have to peel like Yukon gold, red potatoes or fingerlings. Any new baby potatoes work here, or at least try to choose a size similar to that of an egg so they are easy to enjoy as a finger food. Heirloom purple potatoes would turn out pretty cool if you fancy their flavor. If only larger potatoes are available then make sure to slice them into 1/2 inch thick slices once boiled so they are easy to enjoy.
  • The Filling – It’s a creamy magical combination of tofu, turmeric, dijon mustard and eggy black salt. There’s no mayo needed, instead i used some olive oil for richness BUT it can be replaced with tahini for a WFPB diet compliance if desired.
  • Stabilize – To make your potatoes more stable on a flat platter use a sharp knife and slice a very thin slice off of the bottom of each potato half to make it flat. Do this before adding the filling. If placing them inside a deviled egg serving platter and you have just the right size potatoes then there’s no need for the extra step.
  • To peel or not to peel? – Honestly if I make this for guests I peel them for esthetics but for myself I don’t. If you choose to peel the potatoes make sure to do so while they are still a little bit warm but cool enough to handle, this way the jackets slide right off without the potatoes crumbling.

How to Make Vegan Deviled Potatoes

  1. Make the Filling – Add all of the filling ingredients into a powerful blender (or food processor) and process until smooth and creamy. You might need to use the temper or stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl so all the ingredients get processed perfectly together. Adjust seasonings and refrigerate for a couple of hours until chilled and set.
  2. Cook the Potatoes – Scrub and rinse the potatoes well. Add to a medium pot covered with cold water and bring to a boil. Season with a good pinch of sea salt and boil for 12 to 18 minutes or until cooked through. Take good care not to overcook them. The potatoes are done when pierced with a knife and the knife slides back out easy. Drain in a colander and allow to dry in their own steam for a few minutes. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
  3. Assemble the Potatoes – Cut each boiled potato in half lengthwise. Use a piping bag with a favorite decorating tip and fill it with the eggy filling. Place the potato halves on a a large platter and pipe some of the filling on top. Garnish with a light dusting of smoked paprika, fresh chives, dill or vegan bacon bits.

FAQs

What are vegan deviled eggs made of? ›

The yolk mixture will be super flavorful thanks to Nutritional Yeast, Miso Paste, Garlic Powder, MSG (or salt), Mustard, Turmeric, and White Wine Vinegar. We'll also use some Vegan Mayo of course. The base will be tofu however, and the kind of tofu does make a difference in the final texture.

Is it better to make deviled eggs day before or day of? ›

Prep deviled eggs too far in advance, and you'll have dried out filling and stinky boiled egg whites. For the best results, prep your deviled eggs up to two days in advance and keep the egg whites and filling separate until you're ready to serve. This prepping method also applies if you're not even leaving the house.

How do you make deviled egg filling thicker? ›

To thicken up runny deviled egg filling, adding in some extra egg yolks is the first easy fix to try. This method thickens up the base of the filling without altering the taste. Now for a more out-of-the-box (literally) fix, try mixing some instant mashed potatoes into your filling instead.

What is a substitute for vinegar in deviled eggs? ›

Why are my deviled eggs runny the next day? ›

Making them too far in advance. Deviled eggs can be watery, dry, or lose flavor the longer they sit, so don't make them too far in advance. For the best results, prep your eggs and make the filling up two days in advance, and store them separately. Assemble the eggs before serving.

Can you put too much mayo in deviled eggs? ›

One of the biggest mistakes you can make, according to Kitchn, is using too much mayonnaise. Too much mayo will seriously overpower the taste of the yolk and, at the same time, it'll also ruin the texture. Remember, the filling gets piped on, and if it's runny it'll be a lot harder to work with.

How do you keep deviled eggs from getting rubbery? ›

If you basically steam eggs instead of boiling them, the whites will be softer and less hard/rubbery. And if you pressure-cook-steam them in a pressure cooker, they can be even less hard/rubbery than that (and also peel reeeallly easily).

What is a good egg substitute for thickening? ›

Starches like arrowroot powder, cornstarch, potato starch, tapioca starch, and agar, all mixed with a bit of water until viscous and smooth, can serve as an egg substitute in enriched breads and cakes, as well as a thickening agent in custards and sauces.

Why do you add vinegar to deviled eggs? ›

A light-colored vinegar, like the white-wine vinegar we use in these creamy deviled eggs, brings a touch of acidity to the filling and balances the richness of the yolks and the mayonnaise.

What is the secret to peeling deviled eggs? ›

The ice bath also helps the shells separate, making them much easier to peel. To peel, gently tap the egg at the big end first, then the small end, then all around. I prefer not to roll them because it's easy to break the white. Just gently tap all around to crack the shells everywhere and they will peel with ease.

Does baking soda help with deviled eggs? ›

Start with Hard Boiled Eggs:

Then add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the water (this is the best trick for helping the eggs to peel really easily), cover them, and take them off the heat. Let them sit for 12 minutes in the hot water. That's it!
