Boil potatoes in salted water to cover over high heat, about 15 minutes. Do not cover the pot. Strain the potatoes but DO NOT rinse. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a shallow pan to allow them to cool off. Once potatoes are cool, cover the pan with foil and put in the fridge for about 4 hours or overnight to completely chill. This will prevent them from getting mushy when adding the other ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl mix the mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, and black pepper.
Add the green onions, celery, pickles, and pimientos. Add the cooled potatoes and diced eggs and combine all the ingredients gently, you don’t want this salad to get mushy from too much mixing. Add salt to taste.
