What’s In Deviled Egg Potato Salad?

The ingredients in this recipe are kept simple and basic.

1. Potatoes. Potatoes are obviously the most necessary ingredient for potato salad. Choosing the right kind is important, too. For this recipe, I’ll typically use about 3-4 pounds of Yukon or red potatoes. Read more about choosing the best potatoes for potato salad in my classic southern potato salad recipe here.
2. Hard Boiled Eggs. Just like in deviled eggs, there are a full dozen hard boiled eggs in this deviled egg potato salad. The yolks are mixed into the dressing, and the whites are chopped and added to the salad, which makes it taste just like deviled eggs!
3. The Dressing. The dressing is a classic mayo-based dressing made the same way that I make the filling for deviled eggs, with mayo, mustard, vinegar, and relish.

Can You Make Deviled Egg Potato Salad Ahead of Time?

Yes! Not only is it okay to make it ahead of time, it’s absolutely recommended!

Making it the day before and allowing it to chill in the refrigerator gives the flavors a chance to marry, making it taste even more amazing then when you first tossed it together.

Can You Freeze Potato Salad?

Unfortunately, potato salad is one of those foods that really doesn’t freeze well. Upon thawing the potatoes will be mushy and the dressing runny.

How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs for Potato Salad

Place your eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Then cover, and remove from heat. Set aside for 8-10 minutes. The eggs will continue cooking in the hot water even though they’re not over heat.

Drain and cool in ice water. When the eggs are cool enough to handle, they’re ready to peel.
