This is like having potato salad and deviled eggs all in one dish. It was a favorite at our family barbeques.

My husband is always asking me to make this recipe he loves it! If you peel and chop potatoes it comes out more like mashed potatoes. To make it more like potato salad do not chop potatoes. And I never have the olives on hand so I just leave them out. Read More

we love deviled eggs so we loved this. However it took much more dijion/mayo then called for. also a few dashes of hot sauce and paprika for the deviled egg flavor!! I like this better than the usual potato salad not everyone felt the same. Read More

Super easy recipe!! I made this with a few changes: used approx 18 small red potatoes removing the loose skin after boiling & cooling 1C mayo and 4T spicy brown mustard (otherwise would've been too dry in my opinion) and no olives. My 2 year old (who typically doesn't like potatoes) actually loved this potato salad! I really like the mashed aspect compared to potato "chunks"! Read More

This potato salad isn't too bad-- pretty basic. I added paprika dill and pickle relish to get it closer to a deviled egg taste. Otherwise it's just a basic potato salad. I didn't mash everything--didn't notice that in the directions until later. I mashed it later and I liked how it turned out. Be prepared to modify a bit--add more mayo and mustard and a few more seasonings but not bad for a basic potato salad. thanks for the recipe! Read More
