3 Boiled Eggs (remove the shell and chop finely or mash with a fork)
I cup of mayonnaise (any kind)
2 Tbls prepared mustard
1/2 Tsp salt (preferably finely crushed sea salt, or organic salt)
2- 3 dashes of black or white pepper
6 Pimento Stuffed Green Olives (finely chopped)
1 Medium Sized Dill Pickle (finely chopped)
Dash (or so) Onion Powder

Dash (or so) paprika
(All ingredients are "to taste" meaning add more or take out as you prefer)

Mix the mayonnaise and powdered ingredients together to make a smooth dressing.

Add the potatoes, eggs, olives, pickles, and mix well, but gently (so you don't mash up the potatoes).

Put in the refrigerator to cool.

If you want to garnish with olives, eggs, paprika, etc, you can do that right before serving.
