Rinse and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds, leaving the skins on for texture.
Place the potato slices in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until they are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 10-12 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them.
While the potatoes are cooking, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Reserve the bacon grease in the skillet.
Crumble the cooled bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Finely dice the yellow onion. In the same skillet with the reserved bacon grease, add the onion and sauté over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, and chicken stock to the skillet with the onions. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Drain the cooked potatoes and carefully transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the warm dressing over the potatoes. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly. Be careful not to break the potato slices.
Add the crumbled bacon, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together gently to combine.
Serve the potato salad warm. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving. This dish pairs perfectly with grilled sausages or roast pork.
