Peel potatoes and cut in half.

 

Rinse potatoes in colander under cold water.

 

Put potatoes in pan and cover with cold water; add some salt.

 

Boil the potatoes for 20-30 minutes, or until tender; drain.

 

Put the potatoes in the pan you boiled them in or another container, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until they are cool and firm.

 

Once the potatoes are cool and firm, take a knife and dice them or at the size you want them; put in a large mixing bowl.

 

Add mayonnaise, green onions, celery, mustard, green peppers and cheddar cheese; mix by using a rubber spatula.

Fold in mashed eggs, sweet pickles, pickle relish, sweet pickle juice, salt and pepper-use a rubber spatula; taste for seasonings.

 

Put potato salad in serving bowl and sprinkle paprika over the top; refrigerate.
