Scrub the potatoes clean and cut them into bite-sized chunks (about 1 to 1.5 inches each) for even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water to season the potatoes.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool slightly, about 10 minutes, so they are warm but not hot to the touch.
Add the warm potatoes to the mixing bowl with the dressing and gently toss to coat. The warm potatoes will absorb the flavors better at this stage.
Fold in the celery, dill pickles, green onions, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and parsley. Mix until evenly combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as preferred.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and sprinkle paprika over the top for garnish.
Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
