Use a wooded spoon, and mash your potatoes kind of coarsely, making sure to leave a mixture of small and large size potatoes as well as some that are mashed.  Now its time to add your dressing and egg yolks (that have been hard boiled and separated from the egg white) coarsely smash your egg yolks into your potatoes and toss all well to coat.  Add onion and parley, slowly and gently mixing to incorporate all. Now season to your favorite taste with salt and pepper.  Sprinkle with paprika to add color and add the sweet pickle chips to decorate.

This can be made a day ahead.  This is great for a summer outing or a side dish summer dinner.
