Place the eggs in a pot, cover with cold water by an inch, bring to a boil, then cover, remove from the heat, and let them sit for 10 minutes.
Drain and cool the eggs under cold running water, then peel them and slice each one in half lengthwise.
Scoop the yolks into a bowl, mash them well with a fork, and mix in the mayonnaise and the salt until smooth and creamy.
