- 1.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- 2.
- Hard boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water.
- Place the saucepan on the stove and turn the burner on medium to medium/high heat.
- Once the water comes to a full boil, keep the heat on for 2 minutes, then turn the heat off and move the saucepan off the burner.
- Let the eggs sit in the pan (with the lid on) for about 13 minutes.
- Then, drain off the water and run cold water over the eggs.
- The colder the water the better.
- It even helps if you put some ice in it.
- I have found this method to produce perfect hard-boiled eggs.
- The cold water, or ice water, also really helps you get the shell off without a huge mess.
- Once the eggs are hard-boiled and peeled, you can dice them up into a small dice.
- 3.
- Wash potatoes and cut them in half.
- Take a sharp spoon, melon ball scoop, or measuring spoon and carve out a little bit of the potato insides (pictures on the related blog link).
- Dont take too much, but just enough to be able to put a good amount of filling inside.
- Place potatoes on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and season with a little bit of salt and pepper.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until brown and tender, flipping once.
- You can also boil the potatoes until tender if you dont want to roast them, but I love roasted potatoes, so that is how I did it.
- 4.
- In a large bowl add: diced hard-boiled eggs, green pepper, red pepper, shallot, pickle, mustard and mayonnaise.
- Mix together all ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5.
- Scoop about one tablespoon of egg filling into each potato, shake a little bit of paprika on top and sprinkle with green onions, if desired.
- 6.
- If you are not one to waste food, you can use the scooped out potato balls by drizzling them with a little olive oil, seasoning them with salt and pepper, and roasting for about 15 minutes in the 400 F oven.
- I can tell you from experience that they were delicious!

- Enjoy!
