My Berlin grandma’s recipe for 45 years

Boil the potatoes with their skins on. Peel while still lukewarm, chop into bite-sized pieces, and place in a large salad bowl. Peel the onions, dice them, and add them to the potatoes. Halve the gherkins into bite-sized pieces or quarter them, depending on their size, and add them to the bowl. Add the entire can of pineapple and its juice to the salad (the size of the pineapple depends on personal taste—I prefer a large can, as the pineapple adds fruitiness to the potato salad). Add the jar of half the gherkin juice from the gherkins to the potatoes. Mix everything together and add the Miracle Whip. Season generously with salt and pepper. Since the potatoes absorb the seasonings quickly, let it sit for about an hour before serving. To garnish, quarter 1 or 2 hard-boiled eggs and arrange them on top with sprigs of parsley.
