Recipe of the Day - Appetizers

Good evening my favorite people!!!
Here is a healthy recipe for appetizers to serve at the next party:
POTATO SALAD BITES

 

12
small red potatoes (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches in diameter)
1
teaspoon salt
1
hard-cooked egg, finely chopped
1/4
cup chopped celery
3
tablespoons dill pickle relish
2
tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing
1
teaspoon yellow mustard
1/4
teaspoon pepper
2
medium green onions, thinly sliced (2 tablespoons)
3
radishes, thinly sliced (1/4 cup), if desired
  • 1Heat oven to 400°F. Place potatoes in ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until tender. Cool about 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
  • 2Cut potatoes in half. With melon baller, scoop out insides of potatoes into medium bowl, leaving 1/4-inch lining of potato flesh around edges of shells. Sprinkle shells with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. To potato flesh in bowl, add remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining ingredients except onions and radishes; mix well, breaking up potatoes.
  • 3Cut very thin slice off bottom of each potato shell so potatoes will stand upright. Fill each potato shell with about 1 tablespoon filling mixture. Top with onions. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until chilled. Garnish with radish slices.
