Ingredients

• 12 pieces baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise (or regular mayonnaise)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoons turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. You should be able to pierce them easily with a fork.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool until they are safe to handle, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Once cooled, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the center of each half with a small spoon or melon baller, being careful not to break the skin, and place the scooped-out centers in a small mixing bowl.

Step 6

Mash the potato centers with a fork until smooth.

Step 7

Add vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potato mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well-combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill the hollowed-out potato halves with the mashed potato mixture, mounding slightly.

Step 9

Sprinkle smoked paprika over the filled potato halves for garnish. Optionally, add chopped chives on top for a fresh, colorful touch.

Step 10

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving. Enjoy your Mock Deviled Eggs!
