Peel the potatoes.

Cut the potatoes into cubes, trying not to cut them too small to avoid overcooking.

Rinse the potatoes three times to remove starch.

Boil the potatoes in a pot with water and salt for about 10 to 15 minutes, adding 3 eggs to the pot.

Chop the green bell peppers, celery, green onions, and chives into small pieces.

Remove the potatoes from the pot and strain them, letting them cool for about 15 minutes.

Chop or mash the boiled eggs with a fork.

Add the cooled potatoes to a bowl along with the chopped eggs, celery, bell peppers, white onions, green onions, sweet relish, chives, and optional bacon.

Add Dijon mustard and 1 cup of mayonnaise (or 1 and 1/4 cups for creamier texture).

Add Creole seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, dry parsley, ground black pepper, and salt.

Mix everything together gently with two spoons to avoid smushing the potatoes.

Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise for extra creaminess and mix again.

Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.

Garnish with additional bacon, chives, and paprika before serving.
