Deviled Egg-Potato Salad

If you were to read a guide on How to Throw a Southern Cookout, you could expect to see a chapter on Classic Dishes That Must be Served. Among the dishes listed you would find fried chicken, pulled pork, and squash casserole, as well as deviled eggs and potato salad. While there are as many variations on these two dishes as there are stars in the heavens, we can all agree that the best way to fix them is the way our Mom did it.We aren’t here to upset the apple cart, but we would like to introduce one more variation on these two favorite dishes. We actually combined deviled eggs and potato salad into one bowl, creating a salad that is the best of both worlds. This salad has the classic elements of yellow mustard and pickle relish, plus a dash of hot sauce. If you want to kick things up a bit, add more hot sauce, some red pepper flakes or a diced hot pepper. For a pretty presentation, place the paprika in a fine mesh sieve to achieve a uniform sprinkle of paprika on top of your potato salad.
