Place the Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water to season the potatoes as they cook.
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool for 10-15 minutes. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel the skins off (if desired) and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
While the potatoes cool, finely dice the celery, red onion, and dill pickles. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the vegetables.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, ground black pepper, and half of the fresh dill.
Add the cooled, cubed potatoes to the large mixing bowl with the vegetables and eggs. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining fresh dill for a bright, fresh finish.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
