Instructions
- Start by boiling your diced potatoes in a large pot. Cook them in salted water until they are fork-tender, but be careful not to overcook them. Drain and set aside to cool.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until well mixed to create the dressing.
- Add the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, diced celery, red onion, and dill pickles to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat everything evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- For a little extra flair, sprinkle paprika on top before serving. This adds a nice color and a hint of flavor to your salad!
