Instructions
Place chopped potatoes and eggs in a large pot, then cover with at least two inches of water and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Stir occasionally throughout the 15-minute or so process of boiling the chopped potatoes to fork tender.
Drain the potatoes and eggs over a colander.
Transfer the hot eggs carefully to a large bowl or pot situated in the bottom of the sink.
Let cold water run over the eggs in the pot or bowl until the eggs cool down, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and rough-chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Add the potatoes, chopped eggs and remaining ingredients to a
very large bowl
.
Use a potato masher to mash half of the potatoes in the bowl.
Stir all of the ingredients until well-combined. Taste, and reseason with more salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper, if desired, before serving.
