Smoky Deviled Potato Bites – these six ingredient appetizers are packed with incredible flavor and healthy nutrients! you should plan on making a double batch…

The flavor that results from combining walnuts with bright lemon and savory tamari? A most wonderful thing, indeed – an indescribable savory bliss, a naturally smoky kind of unexpected thing – it is one of my favorite flavor combinations.

These may not be the prettiest, you know I love my vibrant colors in food. However, the bright layers of flavor totally make up for the bland monochrome color, and these will be a popular choice on the appetizer table.

We enjoyed these around the Thanksgiving holiday, twice. These were the first thing I made after returning home from our vacation last week – just for snacks. Jason will eat these cold, right out of the fridge, while I like to pop them in the oven for a slight warm up. Either way, these soft bite size taters are a great snack, appetizer, even a side dish over some greens.
