Start by peeling the potatoes and dicing them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the diced potatoes into a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the celery, red onion, dill pickles, and parsley. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the dairy-free mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the cooled potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped celery, red onion, dill pickles, and parsley.
Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss everything together until well-coated. Adjust salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
