Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until they are tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, place the eggs in a smaller pot. Cover them with water and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 9 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
Remove eggs from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel them and slice or chop them as desired.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the paprika and cook for another 30 seconds to release its flavor, being careful not to burn it.
Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat them with the butter and paprika mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and gently fold in the sour cream until it is evenly distributed and warmed through.
Add the sliced or chopped eggs to the potato mixture and carefully fold them in, ensuring the eggs remain intact.
Remove from heat and transfer the dish to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
