How to Make Deviled Egg Potato Salad
This dish is the perfect combination of a potato salad recipe and the simple flavor of deviled eggs.
- Cook Eggs: Boil the eggs according to your favorite method (I love air fryer eggs, so easy).
- Cook Potatoes: Dice and boil potatoes. Drain and allow to cool.
- Prep Dressing: In a small bowl, mix the dressing (adding in some of the mashed egg yolks).
- Combine: 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 pickle relish, fresh herbs, or parsley.
Make Ahead & Leftovers
This Deviled Egg Potato Salad recipe can be made ahead of time as long as it is kept in the refrigerator. As with any mayonnaise-based dishes (like macaroni salad or egg salad), keep it cold as possible (and out of the sun).
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! Potato salad does not freeze well.

Great recipe, my new go to for amazing potato salad. Caution! Make extra, it disappears fast! I added diced crispy bacon. A crowd pleaser.
I am so glad to hear this recipe was a hit! Thank you for sharing Mark!
Great recipe! I’m not a fan of the miracle whip sweet relish potato salad so this SO suited my taste! Thank you!
So happy you enjoyed this recipe, Debbie!
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 :)
