Wash the red skin potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture.
Place the diced potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook.
Drain the potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool completely.
While the potatoes are cooling, finely chop the celery, red onion, and parsley. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs as well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until the dressing is smooth and well-combined.
Add the cooled potatoes, chopped celery, red onion, hard-boiled eggs, and parsley to the dressing in the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of paprika or additional chopped parsley if desired.
