If you don’t look carefully, you might miss that these adorable deviled “eggs” are, in fact, not eggs at all. For the 2022 Met Gala, chef Lauren Von Der Pool created this vegan hors d’oeuvre using boiled and hollowed-out small Yukon Gold potatoes. The rich potato filling includes kala namak, a volcanic rock salt also known as Indian black salt. Its strong sulfuric flavor makes these bites taste surprisingly egg-like.
