• 3 pounds of peeled irish potatoes

• 3 peeled and halved hard-boiled eggs
  
• Salt to taste
  

PROCEDURE

1. Bring water to boil and add salt
   
2. Place whole irish potatoes in boiling water and cook
   
3. When completely cook, drain and cool
   
4. Cut the potatoes into 3/4-inch blocks
   
5. Transfer into a large bowl
   
6. Cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally.
   
7. Transfer bacon to paper towels and drain
   
8. Mix the mayonnaise, pimento, thyme, and cayenne pepper in a bowl
   
9. Separate egg yolks and whites
   
10. Mash the yolks
