It’s never too early (or late) to make a spooky Deviled Purple Potato Eyes for you or your family. Don’t have purple potatoes? Any small fingerling potatoes will work. No avocado? Use tofu egg salad, hummus, or even pre-made guac to stuff these. They are quick, easy, and can be made for a nutritious snack before trick or treating!

Just so you know, this is another post in my series of recipes sponsored by the Idaho Potato Commission. Vegans can never have enough potato recipes.

Halloween Food Needs Eyes!

Slicing up veggies and layering them with olives to turn even a simple salad into a haunted treat. These Spooky Deviled Purple Potato Eyes with Smoked Avocado Mousse add a spook factor perfect for Halloween. Plus they are allergy friendly too!

Since the Idaho Potato Commission sent me larger fingerlings I was a tad bit worried how they would work, but these made better eye shapes than the smaller ones I’ve used before.

How Do You Make Deviled Purple Potato Eyes?

These are so easy to make. Cook the potatoes, slice lengthwise, scoop out a little room for the avocado and top with an olive slice. Easy, right?
