Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature.
While the potatoes are cooling, dice the cooked ham into small bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop the celery stalks, red onion, and parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the cooled potatoes, diced ham, celery, red onion, and parsley to the bowl with the dressing.
Gently toss everything together until the potatoes and other ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
Serve cold as a side dish or light meal. Enjoy!
