Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Assemble the Salad
  1. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, chopped celery, red onion, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Gently add the slightly cooled potatoes to the dressing and toss to evenly coat.
  3. If desired, add chopped hard-boiled eggs and paprika. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing. You can also substitute dill with other fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
