This is a recipe my parents brought from Northern Maine, with a minor substitution - celery swapped for pickles. It's a matter of taste and texture and I prefer it with the pick.es. Try it either way. I'm sure this will be a hit at the next family BBQ! I don't have the ingredients down to an exact science, I taste often and adjust the recipe as needed. This is a good starting point.

Enjoy this deviled egg potato salad at your next cookout or picnic. It's mostly egg and potatoes with a little crunch from dill relish and a small amount of onions. Slightly sweet, there's just enough tanginess to balance out the flavors. We very lightly, not completely, mashed the potatoes for a bit of texture.
