Deviled Egg Potato Salad is a delicious combination of two classic favorites! Potatoes and deviled eggs in a creamy dressing make the perfect comforting side dish!
This easy Southern favorite is a creamy salad with just a few simple ingredients and heaps of flavor!
Everyone swears that their version of potato salad is the best and there are definitely zillions of different recipes out there. From a dill pickle potato salad to a German potato salad topped with extra bacon! I mean, who doesn’t love a potato salad at a party, potluck, or barbecue?
The Best Potatoes for Potato Salad
For a traditional potato salad recipe, yellow potatoes (also called Yukons or Yukon Golds) are my top pick! They are lower in starch and have a slightly buttery flavor. Yellow potatoes stay firmer longer once they are cooked and cooled.
How to Make Deviled Egg Potato Salad
This dish tastes like part potato salad and part deviled eggs.
- Dice and boil potatoes. Drain and allow to cool.
- In a small bowl, mix the dressing.
- Toss ingredients together and stir in the mayo/mustard mixture.
Season with salt and pepper. Right before serving, sprinkle a little paprika over the top for a pop of color! How perfect!
Optional add-ins: Bacon, dill pickles, red onions, pimentos, chives, sweet pickles.
How Far in Advance to Make Potato Salad
Potato salad can be made a full day ahead as long as it is kept in the refrigerator. As with any mayonnaise-based dish from a classic macaroni salad to an egg salad, keep it cold as possible (and never in ths sun). If you are serving deviled egg potato salad on a buffet, place the bowl of salad in another bowl (or casserole dish) with ice in it to keep it cold.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To refresh it, simply give it a good stir and add a little extra salt and pepper!

Sounds like a potato salad my husband would devour. I don’t eat potato salad myself, I don’t like the texture of chunks of potato. But my husband and friends say mine is one of the best they have ever eaten. I add sweet pickle relish, the kind with the larger chunks. I’m 78 years young and have been cooking for close to 60 years. So I don’t measure my ingredients for potato or macaroni salad.
This recipe was GREAT! I like mine with a little sweetness so I added a heaping half teaspoon of sriracha sauce and 1/4 cup sweet relish. It was a HIT!!!!
Love your recipes
❤️Thank you Caroline!
I m 74 and haven,t made a potato salad for ever. I made the southern potato salad, it was spoon good, I was proud of myself, and proud of you, thank.
Thank you so much, Pati! ♥️
I typically love your recipes, but this one was disappointing. It had very little flavor. It needed something, and didn’t taste very deviled eggish.
Oh I’m sorry to hear that Leslie. Thank you for trying the recipe.
The amount of damnation you put in your devilled egg salad, or devilled eggs, is a matter of taste and local custom. I wouldn’t dream of calling them devilled if they didn’t have Coleman’s dry mustard and cayenne, white, and black pepper!
Thanks Holly-Love your recipes & this one doesn’t disappoint! We actually add half the dressing to the potatoes while warm so they soak up that great flavor, refrig & add the remaining before serving! Either way, it’s delicious, traditional & easy!
Delicious Sandy! That would be great :)
love this version of potato salad
This recipe was ok, not great. Something similar to what you get at the deli. Tasted good, just not out of the park outstanding.
Sorry to hear that Eska, glad you were still able to enjoy this potato salad :)
