Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 tablespoon of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool completely.
While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing in a large mixing bowl by combining the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth.
Once the potatoes are cool, gently fold them into the dressing, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Add the finely chopped celery stalks, red onion, dill pickles, parsley, and optional dill to the bowl. Mix to combine.
Fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs carefully to avoid breaking them up too much.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious, creamy Favorite Potato Salad!
