This is a great dish to add something easy but very special to your dinner table. It takes a little bit of time to scoop-out the potatoes but the result is well worth it.
Deviled Potatoes
Making these deviled potatoes is a fun way to serve your potatoes. You can also use this recipe to make some great tasting mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 5 potatoes medium sized new potatoes
- 2 green onions white and green parts
- 1.5 tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 1 tbsp cilantro finely chopped
- 0.5 can chickpeas 1/2 of a 15-oz can, drained and rinsed
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.125 tsp red chile crushed red chile pepper
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional) to taste
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes and cut in half.
- Steam the potatoes in a steamer insert over boiling water. Cover, until tender when pierced with a fork (about 10 to 15 minutes). Remove from heat and transfer into a bowl with cold water to let them cool.
- Scoop out the middle of the potatoes with a teaspoon or melon baller. Save scooped-out flesh for the filling (put in the food processor) and set the remainder of the potatoes aside.
- Add the other ingredients to the food processor. Use a food processor to get the correct consistency. When using a blender, you will need to add to much liquid to blend everything.
- Puree until a smooth paste forms.
- Fill the potato skins with the chickpea/potato mixture.
- Serve immediately or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
