Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
While the potatoes cook, finely chop the celery and red onion. Dice the hard-boiled eggs and mince the fresh dill. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool for 10 minutes.
Gently fold the potatoes into the mayo mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Add the chopped celery, red onion, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh dill to the bowl. Toss gently to combine, being careful not to mash the potatoes.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl. Sprinkle paprika over the top for garnish.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
