Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let sit for 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool before peeling.

In a mixing bowl, combine sautéed spinach, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, hot sauce, and dehydrated potato flakes. Blend until smooth.

Spoon the filling back into the hollowed egg whites evenly.
