Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Spread the frozen shredded hash browns evenly into the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes on one side until golden and crispy, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes on the other side. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Once the hash browns are golden and crispy, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and let them cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Add the diced celery, chopped red onion, parsley, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Crumble the slightly cooled hash browns into bite-sized pieces and gently fold them into the mixture, being careful not to break them up too much.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
