DEVILED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes and oil to a resealable bag and season with salt and pepper; shake the bag to thoroughly coat the potatoes. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until easily pierced with a paring knife, 15 to 20 minutes; cool.
• Cut the potatoes in half so the biggest surface area is exposed. Remove all of the flesh from 4 of the potato halves with a 1/4-teaspoon measuring spoon or melon baller. Put the potato flesh in a medium bowl and discard the skins. Use the spoon to scoop out most of the potato flesh from the remaining 12 potato halves, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh on the skins so the "shells" firmly hold their shape. Transfer the potato flesh to the medium bowl.
• Add the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, dill and cayenne to the bowl and mash with a potato masher until well mixed and fairly smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells. Dust lightly with smoked paprika and garnish with dill. Serve at room temperature.

• Meanwhile, combine the milk, garlic and onion powders and cayenne in a small slow cooker or pot. Add the cheese and heat on high if using a slow cooker (or over low heat if using a pot) until the cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Whisk to completely blend the mixture. Stir in three-quarters of the bacon and chives (reserve the remaining bacon and chives for garnish). Stir in the roasted potatoes and gently mix until completely coated with the cheese sauce. Top with the remaining bacon and chives. Serve hot with cocktail picks.

• Spread the potatoes out on a sheet pan to let cool slightly. While they are still warm, slice the top one-quarter to one-third off each potato lengthwise, and if needed, cut a tiny sliver off the bottom of each to allow them to rest level on a plate. Put the cut-off parts of the potatoes into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment.
• Add the mustard, yogurt, lemon zest, lots of black pepper and some of the reserved potato water to the food processor. Pulse until coarsely pureed, adding more potato water as needed.
