Instructions
1️⃣ Boil the Potatoes
Place diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water.
Bring to a boil and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until fork-tender but not falling apart.
Drain and allow to cool slightly.
2️⃣ Make the Dressing
In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Add the slightly cooled potatoes to the bowl along with pickles, red onion, celery, and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
Gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
4️⃣ Chill & Serve
