1. Wash and scrub the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized chunks.

Combine Ingredients

2. Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs, garlic powder, pinch of ground pepper, red onion and mix it with the dressing.

Chill

1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
