This is how my Mama made them and this is how I make them. They're very simple and very good.

Deviled Eggs

8 eggs
Mayonnaise
Vinegar
Salt and Pepper
Paprika

Boil eggs for about 10 minutes until done. Tap the shells with a spoon to lightly crack and rinse them in cool water until they are cool. Peel the eggs and halve them lengthwise. Pop the yolk out into a bowl and save the white part. Mash up all the yolks with a fork then add about 2 tablespoons of mayo to begin with, 5-8 drops of vinegar and some salt and pepper. Taste it. Add more mayo or vinegar as suits your taste. Mix the egg mixture until it is smooth then spoon it into the egg halves. Sprinkle sweet or smoked paprika over the top.

There are many variations but this is the only one that I like. My mother taught me to make these when I was a kid.
