Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces).
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender but not falling apart, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Sprinkle with apple cider vinegar while warm for extra flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, granulated sugar, and black pepper.
Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing along with the diced celery, red onion, dill pickles, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and fresh dill.
Gently mix all the ingredients until evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
Before serving, give the potato salad a gentle stir and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish at your next gathering!
