• Boil potatoes.
• Drain potatoes.
• Hard boil eggs. Put eggs into a pot with enough room to keep them separated as best as possible. Put cold water up to about an inch above them in the pot, and then bring to a rolling boil. Let boil for 10 minutes, then take them off the heat immediately and pour cold water over them to stop the cooking process. Let cool completely, peel (I find it useful to bang the eggs with enough heft against a hard surface to crack the shell), then slice and dice them to the size you prefer to be put into the salad.
• Finely dice the bell pepper, onion, and celery.
• Combine potatoes, eggs, and vegetables. Add mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
