Step 1

Cut the potatoes into small pieces, then put them in a large pot, and fill it with water until covered. Place it on a stove over medium-high heat, then add some salt to the water, and bring it to a boil for about 10 minutes or until fork tender. Once done cooking, drain off all the water and set it aside to cool slightly, then prepare the dressing.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the bell pepper, celery, green onion, parsley, mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and pepper, then stir them well until fully combined. Add the cooked potatoes to the mixture, then carefully toss until evenly coated, and set them aside.

Step 3

Chop the hard-boiled eggs and mash them or add them directly to the mixture, then give them a good toss to combine, and adjust the seasoning to taste. Put it in the refrigerator to chill before serving or seven immediately and enjoy!
