Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  3. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until tender but still firm when pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain the potatoes well and set aside to cool completely.
  5. While potatoes cool, finely chop the celery, sweet pickles, and sweet onion.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, fresh parsley, lemon juice, sugar, celery seed, dill, paprika, white pepper, and salt until smooth.
  7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, chopped celery, pickles, and onion.
  8. Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the sour cream dressing over the potato mixture.
  9. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
  10. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  11. Arrange crisp salad greens on a serving platter.
  12. Spoon the chilled sweet potato salad onto the greens.
  13. Drizzle the reserved 2 tablespoons of dressing over the top just before serving.
