Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 12 baby potatoes, boiled
- 1/2 cup chickpeas, mashed
- 2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tsp mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Ensure they are soft enough to pierce easily with a fork.
- Once boiled, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly until comfortable to handle.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise and gently scoop out a small portion of the center to create a small cavity, using a teaspoon.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas until they form a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Add vegan mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Carefully fill each potato half with the chickpea mixture using a small spoon or piping bag for a neater presentation.
- Arrange the filled potato halves on a serving platter.
- Sprinkle chopped chives over the top as a fresh, decorative garnish.
- Serve immediately at room temperature or slightly chilled as an appetizer or side dish.
Tips
- Choose small, uniform baby potatoes for consistent cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- Make sure to salt the boiling water to enhance the potatoes' natural flavor.
- Let potatoes cool just enough to handle, but not completely cold – warm potatoes will help the filling stick better.
- For a smoother filling, use a fork or potato masher to thoroughly mash the chickpeas.
- If you want a more elegant look, use a piping bag to fill the potato halves for a professional finish.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like smoked paprika, garlic powder, or nutritional yeast for extra flavor complexity.
- Prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate to let the flavors meld together.
- For best texture, serve within a few hours of preparation to keep the potatoes from becoming soggy.
