Directions:
1. Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a lightly rolling boil over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork or paring knife. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
2. Peel the skins from the potatoes and cut into ½" to ¾" square pieces. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with salt & pepper & set the potatoes aside to cool, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Add the celery, onion and pickles to the potato mixture. Chop 4 of the hard boiled eggs and add to the potato mixture.
4. In a medium bowl, mix the Miracle Whip or mayonnaise, yellow mustard, pickle juice, celery seed and salt and pepper. Fold into the potato mixture and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Slice the last egg into thin slices and place the slices on top of the salad. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight before serving.
