Grandma Ellertson's Potato Salad

My mother's grandmother is Grandma Ellertson. My mom remembers visiting her grandmother before a cross-country trip driving across the United States with her siblings. On this visit Grandma Ellertson gave my mom and her siblings some of her homemade potato salad. My mom said she could not get enough of that potato salad on that trip. She LOVED it! It has been a favorite of hers, and consequently her own family (including me) ever since.

6 medium potatoes
8 oz cubed Dill pickles
1/2 cup Pickle Juice
1/8 Mustard
6 Boiled Eggs
4 green onions
1 cup Miracle Whip
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs paprika

Cook potatoes. Peel them. Cube potatoes. Combine other ingredients with potatoes in large bowl. Mix. Sprinkle with paprika.
