This recipe, inspired by a colleague’s favorite dish served at parties, combines the creamy texture of deviled eggs with the hearty goodness of potatoes. Despite its heat, this dish is highly addictive and perfect for summer gatherings. Let’s dive into the recipe.

Ingredients

Marble or Russet Potatoes (enough to fill one large bowl) Sesame Oil, Kosher Salt, and Pepper for seasoning Salted Butter Red Onions (finely chopped) Japanese Mayonnaise (Kewpie) Honey Dijon Mustard Sour Cream Cayenne Pepper Chopped Green Onions or Chives Hard-boiled Eggs (4 large eggs for chopping, 4 for garnishing) Butter-sweated Red Onions Optional: Parmesan or Romano Cheese Optional: Bacon Bits and Croutons for extra crunch

Preparation

Step 1: Baking the Potatoes

Cube the potatoes and toss them with a little sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Place them in the oven at 350C for about 45 minutes to an hour until they can be easily pierced with a fork. If you prefer, you can halve marble potatoes instead of cubing them.

Step 2: Cooking the Red Onions

While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet to a mild heat. Spritz with a little olive oil and add a half-stick of salted butter. Melt the butter until golden yellow, then add finely chopped red onions and sauté until they are sweated and semi-transparent. Set them aside to cool.

Step 3: Mixing the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the baked potato cubes with the following ingredients:

Japanese Mayonnaise (half to a full cup) Honey Dijon Mustard (quarter cup) Sour Cream (quarter cup) Cayenne Pepper (two tablespoons, adjust to taste) Chopped Green Onions or Chives (half a cup) Chopped Hard-boiled Eggs (four eggs) Butter-sweated Red Onions

Toss all the ingredients together and garnish with optional toppings such as Parmesan or Romano cheese, bacon bits, and croutons for extra crunch. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious deviled egg potato salad!

Flexibility and Customization

This recipe is adaptible, and the measurements are provided as suggestions. Feel free to adjust the seasonings and add your favorite herbs and spices to suit your taste. The key is to balance the flavors to ensure that each ingredient complements the others without overwhelming the salad.
