Mashed Potato Salad Stuffed Eggs

Serve Mashed Potato Salad Stuffed Eggs as an appetizer or side dish.  In this variation of my Potato Salad recipe, the potatoes are mashed until “almost” smooth.   

The finished potato salad is stuffed inside boiled egg whites.  Creative toppings are crumbled French fried onions, or  shredded Monterey jack cheese.

EDITOR’S NOTE (May 1, 2021):  Updated with two new photos.  Removed peas/carrots as a topping.  Added shredded Monterey Jack Cheese as an optional topping.

Serve as an appetizer or side. Pairs well with a variety of main dishes.

Sweet relish.

Sweet relish is a key ingredient. It adds flavor,  texture, and makes the potato salad easy to “stuff” in the center of sliced egg whites.

Consider adding crumbled French fried onions as a topping.  They provide a surprise crunch and delicious flavor.

Helpful Tips For Beginners:  How To Read & Follow Any Recipe

Reading a recipe is an important life skill that  requires knowing how to read a recipe’s ingredients, follow the instructions, prep ingredients, and what type of equipment to use. 

The following tips will help beginners or experienced cooks use a recipe to create a delicious dish. 

Start with clean hands and organized kitchen.  Wash hands thoroughly.  Make sure kitchen and countertops are clean before making a recipe.

Create a relaxing environment.  Play favorite music while in the kitchen.  I love listening to classical or gospel music. 

Read the entire recipe from start to finish.  Visualize doing each step which will help you follow each step. 

If you see ingredient that you and your family don’t use for whatever reason, try a substitute or omit the ingredient.

Pay attention to the order in which ingredients are prepped.  For example, 1 cup of  chopped pecans is not the same as walnuts, chopped (measure whole walnuts and then chop).  

Know the assumptions.  For example, when my recipe calls for “sugar,” use granulated sugar.  If brown sugar is an ingredient, it will be written that way in the recipe.  

Figure out the timing. Check the listed “prep time” and “total time” to be sure you have enough time to complete the recipe.

Look for hints, such as the words “meanwhile” or “at the same time,” which indicate two or more steps can happen simultaneously.  

Watch Recipe Videos.    If you’re a visual learner (like me), watch recipe videos.  Perfect for when you’re learning a new skill or just want to see how a recipe is made.    

Mise en place is a super time saver. This French cooking term translates as “putting in place.”   It means prepping/measuring ingredients and chopping food before you start cooking. It’s the perfect way to get organized, use each ingredient and complete each step.  Nothing is overlooked.

Organize your tools and kitchen equipment.  Mise en place isn’t just for ingredients.   Before starting, make sure you have parchment paper, aluminum foil, measuring cups, measuring spoons, the right pans, mixing bowls, and other equipment.

Kitchen Supplies Sifter

Make notes in your recipe. Note any special prep instructions and highlight cooking times.  Make note of ingredients omitted,  favorite substitutions and creative twists.   The notes will be helpful the next time you make this recipe. 

Enjoy!
