- Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Allow them to cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, and red onion to the warm potatoes. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently fold everything together until well combined.
- Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
