Peel the Yukon gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-inch pieces.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot of cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook as they should hold their shape.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and ground black pepper until smooth.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly for 10 minutes. For extra flavor, sprinkle the potatoes with a pinch of salt while they are still warm.
Add the slightly warm potatoes to the mixing bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly in the dressing, being careful not to mash them.
Fold in the diced celery, red onion, dill pickles, fresh dill, and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and extra fresh dill for a vibrant touch, then serve chilled and enjoy!
