Let’s make it
Potatoes
Prepare the baby potatoes by washing and halving them. Since this is a no-cook recipe, use pre-cooked baby potatoes or steam separately until tender, then cool before assembling.
Eggs
In a large mixing bowl, mash the chopped hard-boiled eggs lightly with a fork to make a coarse deviled egg base.
Dressing
Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sweet pickle relish, and celery seed to the eggs. Mix until well combined and smooth to create the deviled egg dressing.
Mix and Season
Fold the halved baby potatoes and green onions gently into the deviled egg dressing mixture, ensuring everything is coated evenly without mashing the potatoes too much.
Seasoning
Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed for balance.
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle paprika over the top for a pop of color and mild spice, if desired. Chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
Tips & notes
Use pre-cooked baby potatoes to keep this dish truly no-cook and ready quickly. Adjust the amount of mustard and vinegar to your taste for more tang or creaminess. Chilling the salad before serving enhances the flavors and texture.
Saving it for later
Store leftovers covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep chilled to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
Reheating
This dish is best served cold. If needed, remove from refrigerator about 15 minutes before serving to take the chill off. Do not reheat as it will change texture and flavor.
