Bring a large kettle of water to a boil over high heat. Add coarse
salt and potatoes; cook until potatoes are nearly tender but still firm in
center, about 15 minutes.
In large bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Drain
potatoes, and when they are cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch cubes.
Place potatoes in bowl with vinaigrette, toss until coated with mixture;
let cool.
When potatoes are cool, add celery, onions, pickles and olives; toss
until thoroughly incorporated.
In small bowl, mix mayonnaise with cayenne pepper; add to potato
mixture. Toss until all vegetables are coated with mayonnaise.
Add eggs to salad and toss gently. Chill 1 to 2 hours before serving.
