Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the baby potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to form the dressing. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Thinly slice the green onions and chop the parsley.
Once the potatoes are finished roasting, let them cool for about 10 minutes.
In a large serving bowl, combine the roasted potatoes, chopped bacon, green onions, and parsley. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
Serve the roasted potato salad warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
