I hate the commercially prepared potato salad they serve at banquets and big dinners in Texas. It's always made of mushy mashed potatoes which I consider to be inedible. Awful stuff.

@Kachina624 You'll never find that at my Texas table. Some markets here do have some good non mashed potato salad finally

I use Chef Tony’s chopper.

I slice them one direction, then turn the egg halfway around and slice it again to make smal cubes. Easy.

I use my potato masher to smash up the eggs when I make egg salad.

Mine is the grid type.

If I didn't have the Kuhn Rikon Chop Chop, that's what I'd use, too--the grid masher. I want my egg salad very fine, with no chunks of white or yolk. The Chop Chop does that. You just keep pulling to get it to the right consistency. Plus I also do the celery and scallions in it. Love that thing.

If you have a wire rack, like you'd use to cool cakes... place the rack over a bowl and push the eggs through. Bam! It takes seconds. I think I learned the trick from the Pioneer Woman's show and have never done it any other way since then.

Whoa @house cat! I never would've thought of this on my own. I can see myself doing multiple eggs at one time by using a baking sheet, then the rack, then the eggs and then the bottom of another baking sheet, using it to push multiple eggs through the rack at one time. I will try this Saturday.. thank you so much !

I'd rather cut the egg with a knife or mash with fork instead of this method.. I would hate to clean the yolk off the wires, seems like it would not be an easy task.
