There’s a reason why deviled eggs have been a go-to party snack for years. Between the bite-sized portion and delicious taste, they’re pretty much the perfect appetizer to serve at any gathering or event. And while we’re definitely huge fans, we think it’s a shame that eggs get to have all of the fun! This recipe for deviled potatoes takes the classic combo of spices and sauces used in deviled eggs and brings it right into a potato instead. The devil is in the details, so we decided to throw in some bacon, jalapeños, and cheese for extra flavor, and boy did it pay off. Tasty, tangy, and easy to make – these deviled potatoes are absolutely heavenly!
