This salad combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the earthiness of red potatoes, creating a colorful and flavorful dish. It’s a great way to enjoy a variety of textures and tastes in one bowl. Plus, it’s easy to make and perfect for any season.

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the potatoes and cook them until they’re tender but still hold their shape, about 15 minutes. Once they’re done, drain and let them cool before slicing.

In a big bowl, mix together the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, dill pickle relish, and onion. Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl and give everything a good stir to coat the potatoes well.

Step 3

Whisk together the mayonnaise, pepper, sour cream, and parsley until smooth. Pour this creamy mixture over the potatoes and gently fold it in.

Step 4

Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least 8 hours so all the flavors can come together. When you’re ready, give it one last stir and enjoy!
