3 pounds red potatoes 2 ½ pounds sweet potatoes ¼ cup white wine vinegar 1 clove garlic, minced ½ cup chopped red onion 1 pinch ground black pepper ½ cup chopped parsley

Chocolate brownie delight

Instructions

Step 1

Start by bringing 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 done, drain the potatoes and let them cool before slicing.

Step 2

In a big bowl, mix together the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, dill pickle relish, and onion. Add the sliced potatoes to this and gently toss everything to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, pepper, sour cream, and parsley until smooth. Pour this dressing over the potatoes and give it a good stir to make sure everything is coated.

Step 4

Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least 8 hours so all the flavors can meld together beautifully. When you're ready, give it a quick stir and enjoy!
