Choose the best potatoes available. Place unpeeled potatoes in cool water, add salt and bring to a boil. Boil gently until potatoes are done, drain water and allow them to remain in the warm pan just until cool enough to handle. If you let them get cold, your salad will not be as good. DO NOT use refrigerated potatoes.
While potatoes are cooling, dice a large, mild onion, pickles (bread a butter pickles work the best), and a few hard boiled eggs (use about 5 for a medium size salad).
As soon as you can handle the potatoes, quickly peel and dice them into your mixing bowl and immediately stir in Miracle Whip.
Mix in onions, pickles, and eggs. Add more salad dressing or a little pickle juice and salt to taste. Best if eaten warm.
If you are making this salad for a large family event, don't forget the make a variation without eggs for Eva Lu and one without onions for Caleb. :)
