Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the potatoes for 10–12 minutes, or until fork-tender but not falling apart.
Drain the potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar until smooth.
Stir in the chopped celery, green onions, fresh parsley, and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
Sprinkle in Emeril's Essence seasoning, freshly ground black pepper, and adjust salt to taste. Mix well to combine.
Once the potatoes are completely cool, gently fold them into the dressing mixture. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
