Scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the bacon by slicing it into small strips. Cook the pieces in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan.
Finely chop the yellow onion and add it to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Sauté the onions for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dressing slightly thickens.
Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel them if desired, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or bite-sized pieces.
Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl and pour the warm dressing over them. Add the cooked bacon pieces and toss gently to coat the potatoes with the dressing.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the potato salad. Gently mix again to combine.
Serve the potato salad warm, either as a side dish or on its own.
