Steps:
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Mix dry mustard with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and let stand 10 minutes to develop flavor.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve bacon drippings in skillet. Let bacon cool; crumble bacon.
- Cook onion in reserved bacon drippings over medium heat until onion is translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Stir mustard paste, sugar, 1/4 cup water, and cider vinegar into onion; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer vinegar dressing for 2 minutes.
- Peel potatoes if desired; slice 3 potatoes into a salad bow and arrange into a layer. Sprinkle potatoes with half the crumbled bacon, celery, and parsley; season with salt and black pepper. Pour a little of the vinegar dressing over the layer. Repeat layer with remaining 3 potatoes, bacon, celery, parsley, salt, and black pepper; pour remaining dressing over the salad. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, but not mushy.
- If you don't have time to let the potatoes cool completely, you can rinse them with cold water to speed up the process.
- Be sure to dice the potatoes into small, even pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's or Duke's.
- If you don't have celery, you can substitute diced carrots or radishes.
- Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, for extra flavor.
- Serve the potato salad immediately or chill it for later.
