03 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
04 - Add cooled potatoes, celery, green onions, and chopped eggs to the bowl. Gently fold until evenly coated.

06 - Transfer mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with extra smoked paprika and chopped chives or parsley.
07 - Chill for at least 1 hour before serving to develop flavor.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It turns classic potato salad into a deviled egg-inspired treat that always gets second helpings.
  • The texture and flavor layers make every scoop feel like a celebration on your fork.
02 -
  • I once overcooked the potatoes, and trust me—mushy salad loses all charm.
  • Chilling makes a world of difference, so never skip that step for maximum flavor.
03 -
  • If your eggs don’t peel easily, use week-old eggs—they always release better after boiling.
  • Stir the salad gently; a rough hand mashes potatoes and leaves you with mush instead of bite.
