4 lb Boiling potatoes

1/2 c Sweet pickle juice
1/2 c Diced red onion
1 c Mayonnaise (can be light)
1 c Sour cream (can be light)
3 tb Horseradish mustard
1 ts Salt
1 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1 c Diced sweet pickles
1/4 c Chopped chives
6 Hard-cooked eggs; shelled

Paprika for garnishing salad
1. In a large saucepan cover the potato pieces with
cold salted water and set over medium heat. Bring to
a boil, then lower the heat slightly and cook
uncovered, stirring a few times, until the potatoes
are just tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer
to a large bowl. Pour the pickle juice over the hot
potatoes, stir gently and cool to room temperature.
2. Place the diced red onion in a small bowl and cover
with ice water. Let sit 20 minutes to reduce the
acidity. Drain and squeeze out the excess moisture
with a paper towel. Add to the potatoes. 3. In a
medium bowl stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream,
horseradish mustard, salt, pepper, pickles and chives.
Pour this mixture over the potatoes and toss gently.
Add the eggs and toss again. Spoon into a serving
container. The salad can be prepared up to 1 day
ahead. Refrigerate, covered. 4. Sprinkle salad with
paprika at serving time.
