While potatoes are boiling - dice
up the onion, celery, chop the parsely and hard-boil the eggs!.

Note: For boiled eggs, put the eggs in a pan with cold water and bring to a boil!. As soon as they boil, shut off the heat, cover and let stand 18 minutes and they are done!. Immediately run them under cold water and the skins will slip right off!

When potatoes are done, cool them awhile and then peel them!. Put them into a pot and pour over the vinegar and oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper!.
