Sweetpotato Deviled Eggs

CREATED FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA SWEETPOTATO COMMISSION BY JESSICA BENTLEY

We’ve kicked our classic deviled eggs recipe up a notch with a tasty twist of silky sweetpotatoes, 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.

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 sweetpotato 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.
