Wash and scrub the baby red potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the finely chopped yellow onion. Sauté over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and olive oil to the skillet. Stir well to combine, creating a warm dressing.
Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and gently toss to coat them evenly with the dressing.
Stir in the crumbled bacon, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the potato salad warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
