# Steps to Follow:
01 - Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, ranch seasoning mix, pickle juice, hot sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until the mixture is creamy and fully blended.
03 - Add the still-warm potatoes to the prepared dressing and gently fold until evenly coated.
04 - Gently fold in the chopped dill pickles, celery, red onion, fresh dill, chives, and optional hard-boiled eggs, ensuring an even distribution throughout.
05 - Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
06 - Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with extra chopped dill or chives, if desired.
