Ingredients
Directions
Boil potatoes: Add potatoes and enough water to cover them (with about 1” over the top) to a medium stovetop pot. Add salt if using. Bring to a boil.
Boil for 15–20 minutes or until potatoes are tender (not too soft that they break apart). Drain and place in an ice bath to prevent further cooking. (Add ice and enough water to completely cover the potatoes in a large bowl until they cool off, then drain.)
Add all the filling ingredients, except for the smoked paprika, to a blender or food processor and blend until super creamy.
With a melon baller or spoon, scoop just a portion of the center of the potato to form a contour or crater for the filling (put the scooped out potato in a small bowl and use later in a salad or stir fry or to thicken a soup recipe.)
With a tablespoon, generously scoop the filling into each potato center. Sprinkle with paprika and chives, if desired.
Chef's Notes
What to do with the potato centers
You can add the centers to the filling mixture if you like. It’ll still turn out yummy, but might be a bit less creamy and more grainy.
Otherwise, use the potato to thicken soups, add to stir-fries, make a mini mashed potato side, or enjoy by itself with a little seasoning.
If you have leftover filling
Slice an avocado in half, remove the pit and add the filling for a healthy snack.
Use it as a sandwich or wrap condiment.
Spread on avocado toast.
Use it as a dip for grilled tofu or tempeh.
