Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Add in diced potatoes; boil until tender, about 10 - 12 minutes. Drain potatoes; place in a large mixing bowl.
Meanwhile, add bacon to a large, cold skillet; heat over medium heat; cook until crisp, about 8 - 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate, leaving grease in pan. Set bacon aside.
Add red onion to bacon grease; cook 5 minutes or until onions are soft. Stir in vinegar, olive oil, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper until heated through, 1 - 2 minutes; pour over cooked potatoes. Toss with bacon and parsley.
Serve hot or chilled.
