Cube the potatoes into ¾" to 1" cubes when completely chilled. In a large bowl or 20" Dutch oven for mixing, combine cubed potatoes, onion, celery, pickles, and eggs. In a small bowl combine salt, pepper, sugar, and vinegar. Stir well to combine. Add mayonnaise and mustard and stir until well combined.
