Upgrade Your Classic Deviled Eggs with Sweet Potatoes

April 15, 2019 By Jessica Leave a Comment

We’ve kicked our classic deviled eggs recipe up a notch with a tasty twist of silky sweet potatoes, salty bacon, cool sour cream, and creamy cheese. What’s not to love here, folks? These bad boys are the perfect addition to your Easter celebration, summer cookouts or later this year for the holiday season.

Classic Deviled Eggs

I’M A BIG FAN WHEN IT COMES TO SWEET POTATOES.

If you look into my blog archives, you’ll find a motherload of sweet tater recipes. 😉 These spuds are incredibly versatile and add a sweet, golden kick to just about anything. Take a look at that color… it’s perfect.

Classic Deviled Eggs

My family is obsessed with these little gems. Are they a deviled egg or a deliciously stuffed sweet potato? Answer: BOTH! These fully loaded egg bombs are a must make for your Easter festivities. I guarantee they’ll be a huge hit. To be safe, go ahead and make a few batches because they’ll disappear fast.

NOT A COOK? NOT A PROBLEM. THIS RECIPE IS INCREDIBLY SIMPLE TO MAKE:

  • Once you’ve boiled your eggs, go ahead and dunk them into an ice bath to make the peeling process easier.
  • Cut them in half and place the yolks in a food processor with the baked sweet potato and other fixings.
  • Spoon the mixture into a ziplock bag and cut the bottom tip off to create a make-shift piping tube. Squeeze the deviled egg mixture into each egg half and sprinkle with additional toppings.
  • Boom, that’s it! To make these ahead of time, go ahead and do everything the night before! They’ll stay good in the fridge overnight, just make sure to place them in a container with a lid.

This Sweet Tater Twist is an excellent way to mix up your classic deviled eggs recipe.

  3. Taste and adjust any ingredients, as preferred.
  4. Place deviled egg mixture into a ziplock bag and cut off the bottom tip to create a piping bag. Squeeze filling into each hard boiled egg and garnish with bacon, green onions and paprika.

This is also a great recipe if you have leftover eggs from Easter!

Just think, the work is already halfway done. All you need to do is peel, pulse and pipe! It’s the perfect excuse to throw another get-together. Serve them alongside my grilled salmon salad and cold pasta salad for a tasty treat.
