Steps

1Prep. Chop the scallions, bell pepper, and celery into pea-sized chunks, then mix them and all the other ingredients except the egg, potato, and salt in a large bowl.
2Scrub the potatoes thoroughly. If the skin comes clean, you can leave it on. If not, get rid of it. Now cut them into ½ inch (6.4 mm) cubes.
3Boil. Bring a pot filled with enough water to cover the taters a roiling boil and add the ½ teaspoon of salt. Turn the heat down to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes until the tip of a sharp knife easily slides through a cube. Drain, cool, and add to the large bowl.
4Prep again. Bring the water back up to a boil and add the eggs gently, lowering them in with a spoon so they don't crack when they hit the bottom. When the water comes back to a boil, for standard large eggs, boil for 11 to 12 minutes. For more on the best way to make hard boiled eggs for perfect yolks and easy peeling, read this article.
5Chop. Chill the eggs in ice water for about 5 minutes, crack, peel, and chop. Add the egg to the bowl with the other ingredients.
6Coat with the dressing. Add pepper and salt to taste. Chill then serve.
