Steps:
- Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Allow the potatoes to cool.
- While potatoes are cooking, place the eggs into a saucepan in a single layer and fill with water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, remove from the heat and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Pour out the hot water, then cool the eggs under cold running water in the sink. Peel once cold.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spiral pasta, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink, rinse with cold water, and let cool.
- Peel the potatoes. Chop potatoes and hard-cooked eggs into bite-size pieces in a large bowl. Mix in the cooked pasta, dill pickles, and green onions. In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, enough dill pickle juice to make a creamy dressing, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture, and toss lightly to coat all ingredients with dressing. Chill the salad until cold, at least 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use red potatoes, as they hold their shape well and have a slightly waxy texture that makes them less likely to fall apart.
- Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are just tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart.
- Cool the potatoes completely: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool completely before adding them to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light touch when mixing the salad: Be gentle when mixing the salad, as over-mixing can break up the potatoes and make the salad mushy.
- Chill the salad before serving: For the best flavor, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
