Deviled Potato Salad

Deviled Potato Salad

Potato salad is a must have at any BBQ or covered dish in the south. There is nothing like a crunchy or creamy potato salad along side some sweet or savory ribs, burgers, or pork. This recipe is a take on potato salad made with ingredients used in deviled eggs. 

Ingredients:


  • 3 lbs white potatoes, peeled, washed, and cut into wedges or cubes
  • 3/4 to 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup yellow mustard (spicy if desired)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons paprika
  • Salt and Pepper 
Directions:

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot of water, bring to boil over high heat.
  2. Turn heat down to medium high and continue boiling for 15 to 20 minutes (until soft but not soft enough to mash).
  3. Drain the water and let the potatoes cool for about 30 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, mix the mayo and mustard in bowl, set aside.
  5. Once the potatoes have cooled a bit, mix in the mayo/mustard, then the paprika and salt and pepper (the amount of salt and pepper is up to the cook).
  6. Cover and chill for 2 hours or over night.
This is a pretty basic recipe, mainly because my family does not like any extra crunch, onions, or anything besides a creamy texture. Even so, this recipe can easily be added to. Here are some optional additions to be included in the salad.

Optional Add Ins:
  • 3-6 hard boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pickled relish
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
