Description
This Creamy Deviled Egg Easter Potato Salad is the ultimate mashup of two holiday classics. By mashing hard-boiled egg yolks directly into a tangy Greek yogurt and Dijon dressing, you create a rich, custard-like sauce that perfectly coats buttery Yukon Gold potatoes, crisp celery, and fresh scallions.
Ingredients
The Salad Base
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, 1-inch cubes
- 8 hard-boiled eggs
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 stalks scallions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons sweet relish
- Garnish: paprika, chives or parsley
The Deviled Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
Potatoes: Boil cubed potatoes for 15–20 mins until tender. Drain and cool to room temp.
Eggs: Halve eggs. Mash yolks in a bowl; chop whites into 1-inch pieces.
Dressing: Whisk mayo, yogurt, vinegar, mustard, garlic, and spices into the mashed yolks until creamy.
Assemble: Combine potatoes, egg whites, celery, scallions, and relish.
Finish: Toss with dressing, garnish with paprika and chives, and chill for 2 hours.
Notes
The ‘Deviled’ Secret: Mashing yolks into the dressing creates a thick, emulsified sauce that delivers a much richer flavor than chopped eggs alone.
Potato Choice: Yukon Golds are ideal for their buttery flavor and ability to hold their shape during tossing.
The Cooling Phase: Dressing hot potatoes causes the mayo and yogurt to ‘break’ or melt, resulting in an oily texture. Always cool potatoes completely first.
