Cut the golden potatoes into similar-sized pieces and add them to a large pot of water.

Generously salt the water and bring it to a boil.

Cook the potatoes until tender when pierced with a fork, stirring occasionally.

Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool completely in a large bowl.

In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons of mustard, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of smoked paprika.

Whisk the dressing ingredients together until fully combined.

Once the potatoes are cooled, add 3 diced hard-boiled eggs, 1/2 cup of finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup of crumbled bacon, 1/3 cup of finely chopped celery, and 1/2 cup of finely chopped sweet pickles to the bowl with the potatoes.

Toss everything together until combined, then add the dressing and stir well to coat all ingredients.

Cover the potato salad and chill for at least several hours before serving.
