Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half if they are large. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes cook, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the bratwurst sausages until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and honey until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Add the cooled potatoes, sliced bratwurst, parsley, green onions, and celery to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or hearty main course. Enjoy!
