Yes, potato salad tastes best when it is made ahead of time by at least an hour and has had time to chill. Do not make several days in advance though or else the bottom can get watery.

When the timer goes off, remove from heat and drain the hot water out. Pour cold water over the eggs. Let eggs cool in water. Peel.

Deviled egg potato salad lasts about 5 days in the fridge in a sealed, air tight container. I would not recommend freezing this recipe because the mayo might separate.
