    | 1. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, completely cover water and add salt. | 2. Bring to a boil. | 3. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until a knife can pierce the center of the largest potato easily and the potato falls from the knife when lifted, about 25 minutes. | 4. In a small bowl combine minced garlic with a pinch of salt and mash with the back of a spoon. | 5. Whisk in 3 tablespoons lemon juice. | 6. Add 4 tablespoons olive oil, pepper and cayenne, then whisk again. | 7. Drain the potatoes in a colander, rinse them briefly and leave just until cool enough to handle. | 8. Peel them if you like, cut them in half and then into about 1/2 inch thick slices. | 9. Put them in a large bowl and add 3 tablespoons dressing and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. | 10. With a rubber spatula, fold together gently but thoroughly. | 11. Let potatoes cool to room temperature. | 12. Put the carrots in a saucepan of water, add salt and bring to a boil. | 13. Cover and simmer for 3 minutes. | 14. Add green beans and cook uncovered over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender. | 15. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly in a strainer. | 16. Add to the bowl of potatoes. | 17. Whisk the remaining dressing, pour it over the salad and fold it in. | 18. Add the green onions, mint and parsley and fold together lightly. | 19. Taste, adjust seasoning, and add more lemon juice and olive oil if needed. | 20. Garnish with quartered hard boiled eggs. | 21.
