Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1-inch cubes.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt, then bring the water to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
While the potatoes are cooking, place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them and set them aside to cool slightly.
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and chop them into small pieces.
Finely chop the celery and red onion, ensuring pieces are small enough to blend well into the salad.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dressing.
Gently fold the cooked potatoes into the dressing until coated evenly.
Add the chopped eggs, celery, and red onion to the bowl. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients without mashing the potatoes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
