• Bring to boil, cover and remove from heat.
• Let them sit in hot water for 12-15 minutes.
• Pour off hot water and allow to sit in cold water until cool enough to handle.
• Peel eggs and cut in half, removing the yolks to a small bowl.
• Mash yolks and add the mashed potato.
• mixing well.
• Add mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar to desired stuffing consistency; add salt and pepper.

• NOTE: Adding a teaspoon of vinegar to the water before boiling the eggs will prevent the leaking out of egg white should the egg crack during the cooking process.

THE BEST DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a single layer in a wide saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then carefully peel them.
• Dip a clean kitchen towel in a small bowl of warm water. Wipe the blade of your knife with the towel to warm it up and to wet the blade. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, one at a time, wiping the blade clean between each egg. (The warm, wet blade will give you clean cuts.) Remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a whisk. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce if using and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until very smooth. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag or disposable pastry bag and snip off one corner with scissors.
• Place the egg whites on a platter. Pipe the filling evenly into the egg whites. Top with chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes prior to serving.

CLASSIC DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with enough water that there's 1 1/2 inches of water above the eggs. Heat on high until water begins to boil, then cover, turn the heat to low, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and leave covered for 14 minutes, then rinse under cold water continuously for 1 minute.
• Crack egg shells and carefully peel under cool running water. Gently dry with paper towels. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, removing yolks to a medium bowl, and placing the whites on a serving platter. Mash the yolks into a fine crumble using a fork. Add mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
• Evenly disperse heaping teaspoons of the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.

FRENCH SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Place 1-inch of water in the bottom of a double boiler and heat until boiling, reduce the heat to very low.
• When the water is simmering, place the top of the double boiler over the water.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and heat until melted.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a medium bowl just until combined.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces, salt to taste and a grinding of pepper.
• Pour into the double boiler.
• Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs are thickened into soft curds, 10 to 15 minutes.
• To serve, place a slice of toast on the side of each of two plates and spoon the eggs into the center.
