Ingredients
Potatoes
- 8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2 lb)
Eggs
- 7 hard-boiled eggs
Salad Mix
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tbsp pickle juice
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to preference)
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper (adjust to preference)
- 1/8 tsp paprika (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork tender, about 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool.
- Prep Hard-Boiled Eggs: Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and roughly chop the egg whites. Place the yolks into a medium bowl for mashing.
- Make Deviled Egg Mixture: Mash the egg yolks until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the mashed yolks. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cooled potatoes, chopped egg whites, and finely chopped green onions. Pour the deviled egg yolk mixture over the top and gently mix all ingredients together to combine well without mashing the potatoes too much.
- Finish and Chill: Sprinkle the potato salad evenly with paprika for color and a touch of flavor. Optionally, add fresh herbs like parsley or dill if desired. Refrigerate the potato salad until thoroughly chilled and ready to serve.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and buttery flavor.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on dietary preferences.
- Pickle juice adds a subtle tang; substitute with lemon juice if preferred.
- Hard boil eggs properly by simmering for about 10-12 minutes for best texture.
- Gently mix to avoid breaking down the potatoes too much and keep texture intact.
- Chilling for at least 1 hour enhances flavor melding and improves taste.
