Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Set the dressing aside.
Add the diced celery, chopped red onion, and fresh parsley to the bowl with the potatoes.
Gently fold in the hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, and diced pickles.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and stir gently to coat everything evenly. Be careful not to mash the potatoes too much.
Season the salad with black pepper to taste. Adjust salt if needed.
If desired, sprinkle paprika on top for garnish before serving.
Chill the potato salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the potato salad cold as a side dish for barbecues, picnics, or any meal.
