Hi everyone. Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend. I did a lot of eating this weekend, with posts to soon come. Meanwhile, here is a quick post for potatoes I made for a Labor Day weekend bbq. I was very happy with how the potatoes came out. The idea was inspired from Dianasaur Dishes. I loved how beautiful her deviled potatoes were and have been wanting to make them ever since. A Labor Day bbq seemed the be the perfect occasion to try them out.
I didn't follow her recipe exactly, but kept with the theme of using beautiful blue and red potatoes skins (though my red ones didn't stay red once boiled). I boiled the potatoes and then cut them in half and scooped out the inside. I kept the red potatoes and blue potatoes in separate bowls. I then decided to treat the potato insides like egg yolks. I mashed them up a little and used a recipe for deviled eggs that I had made a long time ago with a friend (I'm not sure where my friend got the recipe from). Then I put the white mash from the red potatoes inside the blue potatoes. And I put the blue potato mash (which turned a light purple) into the red potato skins. I then sprinkled some dried parsley flakes on top because I didn't have any paprika.
Recipe
