Print Recipe

A creamy, tangy potato salad with a deviled egg twist, combining tender potatoes, chopped eggs, and crisp veggies for a perfect summer side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, and chopped
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon or yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives or fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. While potatoes cook, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and cover for 10-12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely, then peel and chop finely.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped egg yolks (reserve whites for later), mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mash together with a fork or small whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Finely dice the celery, onion, and reserved egg whites.
  5. Add the cooked potatoes, chopped egg whites, celery, onion, and sweet pickle relish to the bowl with the deviled egg mixture. Gently fold everything together, trying not to break the potatoes. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or vinegar if needed.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. Before serving, sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped chives or parsley.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for best texture. Add a teaspoon of baking soda to boiling water to make peeling eggs easier. Gently fold ingredients to keep potato chunks intact. Salad tastes better after chilling overnight. For a lighter version, swap half the mayo with Greek yogurt or use avocado mayo for dairy-free. Add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce for extra kick.
