8 potatoes, cooked and diced into bite size pieces
8 eggs, hard boiled
3/4 cup dill or sweet pickles, diced

2 to 3 Tablespoons yellow mustard
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar (or pickle juice)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Salad supreme seasoning, optional to sprinkle on top
STOVE TOP DIRECTIONS:
Bring two pots of water to a boil. In one pot boil your potatoes for about 15 minutes, or until fork can easily pierce through the potato. Drain water off of potatoes and let them cool. In the other pot boil your eggs for 15 minutes. When they are done, drain and rinse them under cold water. Put in fridge or ice bath to cool.
INSTANT POT DIRECTIONS:
Cut your potatoes into bite sized pieces and put it in the bottom of your Instant pot. Place your eggs right on top of your potatoes.
Close the lid and turn knob to Sealing. Push the manual button (or pressure cook button) and cook for 6 minutes.
3. Move the knob over to venting (or quick release). Drain the potatoes. Place Eggs in an ice bath for at least 5 minutes.
REST OF THE DIRECTIONS:
Once eggs and potatoes are done cooling, put your potatoes, and pickles in a big bowl. Dice the eggs and add it to the bowl.
SAUCE DIRECTIONS
In a separate bowl mix your mayo, mustard, sugar, vinegar all together. Pour your sauce over the potatoes in the big bowl and mix. Add salt and pepper to taste. If it is dry, you can add more mayo to get it the texture you like. Top with salad supreme. Can also save a few hardboiled eggs to slice and add it to the top.

Welcome to Backyard Texas Barbecue where you don’t need to be an BBQ expert (or Texan) to make and enjoy the best Texas BBQ recipes.
We’ll show you how to BBQ a full range of Texan delicacies including ribs, bbq brisket and how to make barbecue chicken that a native Texan would be proud of.
Defo wash your eggs beforehand if you cook with the spuds. Fifteen minutes is far too long for hard boiled eggs. You may produce the dreaded grey ring that circles the yolk. All in my own humble opinion of course!
I wish we had alot of meszquite like they do in Texas but I'll just use mezquite charcoal it adds a diff flavor wen grilling or smoking
I use to own a traeger & propane grills but now I strictly use offset smokers with oak & almond wood fruit woods too like cherry & peach which is plentiful around here
Yea I bbq alot family gatherings are great now I always show up with slow smoked ribs or pork butt
My mother did mash her potatoes first everything else is the same and yes we are Texans.
This looks tasty, my dear. Love your recipe ideas!
Looks pretty good! Can't wait to try it!
Now I am craving potato salad! I always buy it at Costco, but this looks so easy! I can’t wait to try it!! 💕

I've been a Texan all my life…I still don't LOVE potato salad, but I'll eat – what kind of Texan would I be otherwise…???
