Dice 5 roasted potatoes into medium-sized chunks.
Add enough water to cover the potatoes and season with 2-3 tablespoons of chicken bouillon powder and a little salt.
Add 3 rinsed eggs to the pot with the potatoes.
Heat on high until boiling and cook for 15 minutes.
Strain the water from the potatoes without rinsing them to retain flavor.
Transfer the potatoes to a plate and let them cool.
Peel the eggs under running water for easier peeling.
In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup Miracle Whip, and 2 tablespoons of mustard.
Dice 1/4 cup each of celery, red bell pepper, and onion, and add to the dressing mixture.
Dice the 3 boiled eggs and add to the dressing mixture.
Season the dressing with salt and about 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, then mix well.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed before adding it to the potatoes.
Fold the dressing into the potatoes, smashing some potatoes for a creamy texture.
Garnish with paprika and an extra diced boiled egg on top for presentation.
Serve cold or warm, according to preference.
