Instructions
Place the red potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes until they are fork-tender, but not falling apart.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cut them into bite-sized chunks.
In a large bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar until smooth.
Add finely chopped celery, red onion, and fresh dill to the mayonnaise mixture and combine well.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Gently fold in the chopped potatoes and boiled eggs, ensuring everything is well coated with the dressing.
Cover the potato salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend.
Before serving, sprinkle the top with paprika for a touch of color and added flavor.
Serve the salad cold or at room temperature. Enjoy!
