How To Make southern deviled eggs

  • Step 1
    Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the egg yolks from the hard-boiled eggs and transfer them to a bowl. Mash them well with a fork. For an extra creamy texture, push the egg yolks through a potato ricer using the disk with the smallest holes.
  • Step 2
    Stir in the mayo, mustard, pickle relish, and hot sauce. Blend well and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Step 3
    Spoon in or pipe the yolk mixture into the eggs. Garnish with a few pinches of smoked paprika.
