Step 1
Cook unpeeled potatoes in a covered saucepan in 1-inch water, until tender.
Step 2
While potatoes are cooking, prepare other ingredients.
Step 3
Cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and mince.
Step 4
Pour off excess fat from pan and use the same pan to saute onions and celery, stirring occasionally until mixture begins to brown. Remove sauteed mixture and set aside.
Step 5
Chop dill pickle and set aside with the saute mixture.
Step 6
In the same pan used to saute, heat water, vinegar, sugar, salt, paprika and dry mustard to boiling point, allowing liquid to simmer and incorporate any drippings from the bacon and sauteed onion-celery mixture.
Step 7
Check the potatoes for doneness and remove from heat. Peel them while still as warm as possible, then slice.
Step 8
Fold the reserved sauteed mixture into warm sliced potatoes with chopped dill pickle.
