Wash and peel the Yukon gold potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potato cubes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add the kosher salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, finely dice the celery, red onion, and pickles. Chop the fresh parsley and set all the ingredients aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Add black pepper and mix well.
When the potatoes are done, drain them and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Add the celery, red onion, pickles, and parsley to the potatoes. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss until the potatoes are evenly coated, being careful not to break them apart.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, sprinkle paprika over the top for garnish, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
