Grandma Nelson's Potato Salad

Jake's very favorite - this recipe is a request from Brianne.


6 potatoes, boiled
6 hard-boiled eggs, reserve one for garnish
¼ cup onion, finely chopped
2 sweet pickles, chopped
1 ¼ cup Miracle Whip
2 T. sweet pickle juice
1 T. sugar
1 t. salt
1 T. prepared mustard
Dash pepper


After boiling the potatoes, remove the skins and dice into a large bowl.  Chopped eggs, onion, and pickles.  Combine Miracle Whip, pickle juice, sugar, salt, prepared mustard and pepper.  Stir dressing into the potato mixture.  Add a little extra Miracle Whip if it is not moist enough.  It will absorb a bit as it chills.  Place in serving bowl and garnish with sliced egg, a sprinkle of paprika and a bit of parsley.  Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.  Serves 8.
