Ingredients:
- 6-7 potatoes
- 1/2 cup celery, diced

- Italian salad dressing
- Parsley, for garnish
- Paprika, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut them into small cubes and boil for approximately 10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them; they should be tender but not mushy. |
| 2 | Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl (you can use the pot you boiled them in). Add a generous amount of Italian salad dressing, enough to coat the potatoes evenly. Allow the potatoes to marinate in the dressing for about 15 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste of the salad. |
| 3 | Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients. Dice the celery and onion, slice the hard-boiled eggs, and gather the parsley and paprika for garnish. |
| 4 | Once the potatoes have marinated, add the diced celery, onion, and sliced hard-boiled eggs to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. |
| 5 | Add the mayonnaise to the bowl and gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to mash the potatoes; you want them to retain their shape. |
| 6 | Transfer the potato salad to your favorite serving dish. Arrange the sliced hard-boiled eggs on top, followed by a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley and a dash of paprika for color and flavor. |
| 7 | Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop further and for the salad to chill. This step also helps to firm up the texture of the salad. |
| 8 | Serve chilled and enjoy this delicious and satisfying potato salad with your favorite main dishes or as a standalone meal. |
