Deviled eggs. They’re always a hit. 1 dozen eggs, hard-boiled enough mayo to make the yolks creamy (NOT Miracle Whip) 3 capfuls of cider vinegar (more to taste) salt paprika for garnish Cut the eggs in half, remove the yolks. Mix the yolks, mayo, vinegar and salt with a fork until well combined. Refill the whites, dust with paprika. You’re a star. ---

Oooh! I hope they are as good for you as they were for us! And for deviled eggs, I throw in some extras that my husband adores. I do yolks, mayo, a bit of dijon, finely diced ham (sliced lunch meat style works great), finely diced celery, and finely diced green onions. Top with capers, paprika or pepper. ---

The taters were yummy, and a huge success, even down to the picky elementary-age kids! Thanks! ---

[QUOTE=Chefguy] You’ve just described some sort of egg salad. I’m a purist, damn it! :dubious: [/QUOTE] Screw that- I needed to up the protein! Besides, they taste good. And it’s still served in a hard-boiled egg half… Glad the potatoes turned out! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-to-go-with-ham/452881.md?page=1)
